Last year, the 2012 Bands of America Grand National Championships, presented by Yamaha, brought spectacular performances from 90 bands. Hosted in Lucas Oil Stadium, the 2012 Grand National Championships also featured exhibition performances by outstanding college bands, an expo with more than 100 booths, a student leadership workshop, and the Indianapolis Marching Band Tournament.
Check out this cool video that presents from a birds-eye view a time-lapse of the finals competition. You can really see the different formations the bands make on the field! Make sure you watch until the end of the video so you can see the full retreat!

We can’t wait to see what the bands bring to the field this weekend at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO, the Bowman Grey Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC and the Walter Cantrell Stadium in Powder Springs, GA.
