Championships & Seeding

FMBC Seeding process is based on Registration Payment date, either by PayPal or Credit Card payment, or postmark date of check.

Early Registration

May 19^th – June 1^st :

You will be assigned seeding numbers, in a random order draw after June 1st.

Standard Registration

June 2nd – October 15^th :

Seeding numbers will be assigned and posted as they are received by postmark/paid dates (no random order).

Registration ENDS

Midnight on October 15^th :

Any bands who have registered, but have not claimed their class size must declare their class size by Sept. 1st

For FMBC State Prelims, each class is then arranged in performance order, chronologically in reverse order of their ‘seeding” numbers, with the smallest number performing last, in each class. 

Scholarship Criteria for The FMBC Scholarship Fund

The FMBC Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to college-bound high school seniors based on demonstrated academic achievement, financial need, school band or auxiliary involvement, and an express interest in pursuing music and/or performance education, through college and/or through performance entities such as Drum Corps International.

The students eligible for assistance must be graduating high school seniors who reside in Florida and are members of a band that is registered for and attends the FMBC State Semi-Finals.

Senior Students can check back here starting September 1st, to complete an Application for 2020. It will require a Letter of Recommendation from their Director. Then, it must be submitted, to FMBC, by October 25th, 2020.
