New York State Field Band Conference

New York State Field Band Conference

The New York State Field Band Conference or NYSFBC is a local circuit for marching band competitions, based in New York. Championships are held at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York each year in the last week of October or first week of November. The conference was created in February 1972 to standardize rules and provide constructive feedback at competitions.

An unofficial forum has been created for the band members, parents and staff of participating bands. The NYSFBC Board has over 550 members and has become the "go-to" website for the conference. Scores are posted as they are announced, show themes and music are revealed/shared. Parents, staff, alumni, and many others share their constructive feedback on performances and discuss different ideas behind marching band, guard, percussion, etc. Many students/parents/staff enjoy reading through these free critiques to see what they can improve on.

Mission

Purpose

The New York State Field Band Conference, Inc. was formed on Feb. 6, 1972 for the purpose of regulating and scheduling field band events in New York State, and for the enhancement of school field band competitions. It is the aim of the New York State Field Band Conference to encourage participation in such events.[1]

Philosophy

It shall be the philosophy of the New York State Field Band Conference to encourage and provide the most positive experience possible for all participants. The Conference will address this need through procedures it implements regarding competition.[1]

History

Eleven bands participated in the first championship in 1972 which was held in Cicero, NY. The conference has grown to over 50 bands in recent years and has seen participation from outside the state of New York with bands from Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

The championship competition moved from various Syracuse area schools to the Carrier dome in 1980 and has been held in that venue ever since.

Classifications

The NYSFBC has gone through two major methods of classification for the bands that participate in sponsored competitions. The current system of classes was created in 1999, with the exception of the National Class, which was created in 1989. This system consists of 2 major classifications (Large School and Small School) with smaller classes within each of the two major classes.
