Our Invitational has gained quite a reputation for
being a very organized and well-run event. Each
year we host 20+ bands and this year we are expecting no less!
Please mail the Registration Form (on the
other side) along with a non-refundable
$150 registration fee to:
The Striking Cobra Invitational is a FMBC Regional Show, where participants may qualify for FMBC
Championships. Our invitational may also be used
as a great “tune-up” for the FMBC Championships
in St. Petersburg. In addition to the competition, we
will also be offering an Evaluation -only division,
which will evaluate your Band only with the caption
and overall ratings, not scores or placements. This
class is ideal for the non-competitive Band.
