Metallica, - yes, Metallica - is rolling out its marching band competition again this year. Unfortunately, no Mississippi high school or college marching bands entered the competition last year. Perhaps one Mississippi band will step up to the plate this year.
Metallicamarchingband.com states:
Bands who enter the competition will have access to a library of marching band charts for Metallica songs, provided by Hal Leonard via sheetmusicdirect.com. The bands with the best performances will win musical equipment for their school program, furnished by Metallica and our sponsors.
Prizes range from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the size of the band and whether it is a high school or university. Video submissions are due by November 29.
The Auburn University marching band won the competition last year with its halftime performance during the Ole Miss game last year.
Oakton High School won the top prize for small bands (Less than 75 members) in 2023.
Dobyns-Bennett High School (TN) won the competition for the largest high school band.

Idle wondering:
If a MS high school band participates in this competition without the blessing of the exalted leaders of the MSHAA, will they be banned from ever again performing for their schools?
My niece was in the Auburn band when they won it. She was pretty thrilled.
Around here you just need to nail "Get Ready"
Metallica is the greatest band on Earth.
9:48, they'll only be banned if they play "How Great Thou Are."
What is the meaning of "Parade to Black"?
Speaking of bands, "Let the band play Neck!"
Metallica S&M is one of the most underrated albums ever. And I am not a metal head.
SURE BEATS THE CRAP AT SUPER BOWL Half time
When my son was in school at Chapel Hill in the late 1990s the marching band played Black Sabbath music at every game.
9:48, 11:10, 2:28 all tie for the win.
Call Me When They Play Some Lynyrd Skynyrd...
