2012
SEEDINGS UPDATED
SEE THE FMBC FINALS INFORMATION PAGE If your band registered prior to the April 1st deadline, and we received your deposit, your band was included in the early seeding drawing. The actual seeding numbers of all early registration bands is shown on the FMBC Finals Information Page. Registrations received after the deadline have also been added to the list in the order of receipt of the Registration Fee. You can, of course, still register your band for the 2012 FMBC Semi-Finals. Traditionally about 1/2 of our Semi-Finalist bands take advantage of the early seeding option, and the rest of the bands register during the summer and early fall. Your seeding (which essentially means your performance time) is determined by the date we receive your Registration Fee and by your level of achievement as evaluated at FMBC Regional Shows during the marching season. If you have not yet registered your band, and you hope to qualify to participate in the FMBC 2012 Semi-Finals, use the link below to register your band! If you fail to qualify for FMBC Semi-Finals during the season, your registration fee is refunded in full. 2012 State Semi-Finals Registration Form 2012 FMBC CLASS SIZE CHANGE Please note the table at the left for the 2012 FMBC Size Classes. We have revised all sizes downward slightly to better balance the number of bands in each size class at FMBC Semi-Finals. ATTENTION: 2012 FMBC It is important for you to confirm the details of your 2012 FMBC Regional Show. We publish as much information about all of our Regionals as we can, and literally thousands of people visit our site looking for details about our Regional Shows. We are not actively soliciting any new Regional Shows for 2012, but every year some shows are phased out of our system and often there is room to add a show to replace them. If you are thinking about hosting an FMBC Regional Show in the future, first check out our Rules and Regulations to see if you meet the requirements. Then if you would like to proceed, contact Steve and let him know, and we will add you to our waiting list for next season. 2012 FMBC REGIONAL SHOW HOSTS 2012 FMBC FINALS GUEST BANDS Wait until you see who our college guest bands will be for 2012. We cannot tell you yet (but we really want to...). Our legal department tells us that we have to wait until all of the details are in locked in place - all of the 'i's' dotted and the 't's' crossed before we can make the official announcement - but we can say that some of the finest, most well-known college bands in the country have asked to participate in 2012, and they will be performing special shows for you at FMBC Semi-Finals and Finals. What a show it will be!!! |
