Spectator Info
Whether you are a student, parent, alumni, neighbor, or out of town guest, the Mt. Carmel Tournament of Bands is a spectacle to be seen, fun for all ages, and not to be missed.
Parade Competition
Nestled in the heart of Rancho Peñasquitos, the Parade competition offers spectators a free view of some of the finest parade bands in Southern California. Grab a chair, bring a blanket and set up along the parade route and enjoy the show!
Field Show Competition
The field shows are a tour-de-force of musical pageantry and artistic achievement. If you have never seen a marching band perform at a half-time show then prepare to be amazed. Multiply that wonder by several orders of magnitude as over 30 bands perform all day and into the night. If you want to know what a smaller close knit group of extremely talented high school students can do, come out in the morning for the smaller band field shows. If you want to experience the spectacle of a 200 piece marching band come out in the afternoon and evening for the larger band field shows.
Enjoy the show, enjoy the food, and experience the Mt. Carmel Tournament of Bands!
