Greetings Color Guard and Band Representatives,

As I’m sure you’re aware, The American Legion’s 103rd National Convention will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Aug. 26 to Sept. 1.  The Convention Office has mailed packets with the contest applications and updated contest rules; however, we wanted to advise that all relevant contest information is now available to download at the links below:

If your band desires to participate and compete, please complete the application by April 29. Color guard units have until July 22 to complete and submit their applications. We look forward to a great year of competition. 

–Reginald Mathis is the audiovisual stage coordinator for national convention & meetings.
