President’s Cup – National Concert Band Invitational

The President's Cup National Concert Band Invitational was first held in 2015. From the start, the event has enjoyed the support of the United States Army Band "Pershing's Own." America's top concert bands and wind ensembles receive expert instruction in sectionals, workshops, and on stage clinics by highly qualified and professional musicians from the ranks of retired and active duty members of the US Army Band.

This unique invitational has featured many of the nation's best high school bands, each one worthy of receiving the President's Cup Trophy. Every group that has taken the stage has made an excellent representative of their school and community, but only one band each year receives the President's Cup.
