 7th Annual Chamberlain Invitational

October 20, 2007  -  John Adcock Stadium, Chamberlain HS, Tampa, FL

 FMBC Sanctioned Regional Competition


                     


The Chamberlain Invitational is one of the most outstanding shows in Florida because of our philosophy of serving you, the band director, with the highest standards of running a show. Chamberlain is located in Tampa, Florida, which is a few miles away from Busch Gardens and the Gulf Beaches.

Our concrete stadium has the capacity to seat 4,000 spectators comfortably in the front stands. We can accommodate seating for 3,000 more in the back stands for the participating bands. It is clean, well kept and provides an awesome perspective of the band's drill. We have an outstanding band booster organization that has hosted the Florida Bandmasters Association District Festival of 19 bands for 10 of the past 14 years. 

We offer to you the type of rating system that best fits your band's needs.  FMBC scoring, Ratings Only, or even Comments Only is offered at the show.  Our judges are the top in their field, representing the Central States Judging Association (CSJA), the Florida Bandmasters Association (FBA), the Florida Marching Band Coalition (FMBC), USSBA, WGI, FFJA, as well as highly successful band directors from around the state, and professionals that instruct some of the top Drum and Bugle Corps (DCI) in the country!

We have hosted bands from out-of-state that have made this their performance trip to Tampa, Florida. They traveled to Busch Gardens, the Gulf Beaches, and to all of the attractions in the Orlando area, which makes this one of their best fall season band trips.

Past competing bands have included: Port Charlotte, Clearwater, River Ridge, Durant, Lassiter (GA) University, Boone, Riverview, Dr. Phillips, Sickles, Seabreeze, Northside Christian, Indian Rocks Christian, East Bay, Pinellas Park, Tavares, Killian, South Plantation, Cape Coral, St. Petersburg, Pine Ridge, Central, Plant City, Largo, Plant, Hillsborough, Hudson, Eastridge, Gaither, Ft. Myers, Lincoln, West Orange, Gainesville, Northside Christian, Centennial, Wharton, Riverview, Land O' Lakes, South Sumter, Countryside, Lecanto, Coral Cables, St. Cloud, Hardee, Poinciana, Albany (GA).
