WOW! Back in April, we challenged marching bands across the country to create performances incorporating Metallica songs into their shows, and boy, did they deliver in a major way! The response blew us away and made for a heated competition, but the results are in. And the winners are…

Fan Favorite (College): Auburn University
Fan Favorite (High School): Dobyns-Bennett High School (Kingsport, TN)
Massive thanks to all who brought Metallica to their marching band programs, and congratulations to all the schools who claimed a prize!
If this is the first you’re hearing about this competition, here’s some background. Marching bands at high school and collegiate levels cranked their repertoires up to 11 to compete for nearly $200,000 in equipment by creating the most exciting, unique, and impressive performances incorporating our music.
Over 450 schools accepted our challenge! Once submissions closed, fans from all over the country chimed in, casting their votes for their favorite performances, while professional judges narrowed it down to five finalists in each category. Finally, we - as in the members of Metallica - chose the grand prize winners!
The victors in each category will receive instruments and equipment for their programs thanks to our sponsors TAMA, KHS America, Zildjian, D’Addario Woodwinds, Evans Drumheads, ProMark, and Gator, in partnership with Sweetwater, Conn Selmer, and Hal Leonard.
To learn more about this competition, visit metallicamarchingband.com.
Time marches on!

Crazy thing about Metallica back in 1988, for me, they weren't even on the radar. I was stuck in Led Zeppelin and The Who and all the Classic Rock that was being played on the radio. Metallica was still underground and just becoming something that was kind of important in music. It wasn't till 90 when I finally started to make the switch. And then in 96 when I heard Blackened on some obscure sports radio show, that's when it was full on for me and I haven't turned back ever since. And regarding their new album, I listen to You Must Burn! and Too Far Gone all the time because I'm a road warrior salesman and gotta have good music in my ears as much as possible. Proud to say I'm 53 years old and I still and forever will love heavy metal music and Metallica 🤘😀

So awesome you guys are doing this to keep music alive in high schools. It’s a shame that it is disappearing

@facepalmdaily4404 4 ай бұрын

Is it, though? People have been saying high school music is disappearing since I was in school, and that was 25 years ago. What I saw in this competition is a LOT of musicians.

@sleepdeep305 4 ай бұрын

@@facepalmdaily4404 It is disappearing. Telling you now, I graduated almost 4 years ago and the band I left is about 30% smaller than when I graduated. And nearly 50% smaller than when I was a freshman. There's 33 people left.

My son graduated in '20. During HS he was in JROTC, so we'd go to all the football games and my wife and I, along with everyone else, were mesmerized by the talent of the marching band. Their skill and passion was FAR CRY from what marching bands were back in my school days. These kids were so good, so creative and just so passionate, it was awesome to witness. And you also got performances from the visiting teams too which was just as special. We miss those days, Friday Night Lights in Texas. It was the best, a real spectacle! We'd look forward to it all week, helping our kids prepare, all the parties and friendships we made with the other parents. Then our kids graduated and it all went away. I miss it dearly!

I cannot express in the various languages of humans how happy this makes me. I am OLD enough that I got to see Mr. Cliff Burton in April 1986 at the Richfield Coliseum (hello, Cleveland!!!). My basement is a veritable Metallica shrine. I actually REMEMBER when Dee Snider knocked the socks off Tipper Gore and all the rest who would automatically equate the FREE healthy expression of metal with suicide, Satanism, etc. Now, Metallica is sponsoring community colleges and Frakkin' marching band competitions. I am LOVING this, every single DECADE, gentlemen!!!!
