Fiesta
Bowl National Championship of Bands – Finals |
|
Also at Bank One
Ball Park, the top 10 bands will perform this evening. From the
two (2) universities attending the Fiesta Bowl, both of
universities will perform in exhibition this evening while the
competing bands are awaiting their scores. Bank One Ball Park
gives the Fiesta Bowl the luxury of both an outside and inside
show. The roof is completely retractable and can be closed in case
of inclement weather. The sound is superb and the bands are closer
to the audience than they are in a football arena. |

December 30, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM |
|
Fiesta Bowl Parade |
|
Note:
actual Parade start time is 11:00 AM. This is the reason for
being there! The Parade is usually 3.1 miles long and has very few
turns. Very flat area so marching is not difficult. Temperatures
can be in the mid-70’s but usually in the 60’s. The Parade is
very well attended each year with over 400,000 people, many who
are in reserved bleachers and seats. Please see the enclosed copy
of last year's routing. This should not change that much for this
year. |

Rawhide
Steak Fry |
|
All bands are invited to
participate in this activity at Rawhide. Rawhide is patterned
after an "Old Western Town" with real Cowboys, hayrides
and stage coach rides for the students. There are shops available
for any type of souvenir you may wish to purchase. The meal for
the band groups is held in a large covered area that can easily
hold 5,000 plus people. An excellent evening that your band will
enjoy. |

Fiesta
Bowl Band Party |

The Fiesta Bowl Band
Party will be held at the Phoenix Civic Plaza (Note: projected
site only at this time). Exceptionally large indoor areas that can
accommodate all of the bands that are involved in the Fiesta Bowl
Parade. A great evening for the students as there is a DJ for
dancing and games. Refreshments are available and the students
will need to bring money for these refreshments. |
