The NMAA Marching Band Contest, in partnership with the New Mexico Music Educators Association (NMMEA), was initiated to provide an opportunity for high school marching bands to participate in a statewide marching band festival with the intent of bringing together New Mexico’s best bands in competition. State Marching Band Contest participants represent a variety of populations, school sizes, and geographic locations. Any marching band whose school is an NMAA member can participate in this festival if they meet eligibility requirements.
