Seven years ago the Youth In Music Championships were just a dream and an idea. In those years the YIM Championships have grown from 9 to 20 bands and 1,400 to 6,000 in attendance. The YIM Championships have quickly become one of the premier marching band events in the Midwest. Join us on Saturday October 22, 2011 at the HHH Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN.

For 2011, the event promises to be interesting as the Dome roof and turf have been remodeled. Early reports from bands and fans is that the sound is better for musical units!

Special units will again present featured exhibitions during breaks in the contest. This year featured exhibitions will be presented by The 451st Army Band, Minne-Brass, University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse Marching Band and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blugold Marching Band.
