FloMarching to LIVE STREAM Western Band Association Championships
FloMarching announces an agreement with Western Band Association to live stream the WBA's Grand Championships in 2016.
FloMarching, in conjunction with the Western Band Association, is thrilled to announce that the two parties have reached an agreement for FloMarching to live stream the Western Band Association finals on November 19-20, 2016!
The competition slate on day one of the Western Band Class Championships takes place at two separate venues and currently features a total of 63 bands on Saturday, November 19. The WBA 1A-3A Class Championships are being held at Merced College's Don Odishoo Stadium in Merced, California, and the WBA 4A-5A Class Championships are hosted by Buchanan High School's Veterans Stadium in Clovis, CA. FloMarching is live streaming from both venues, allowing viewers access to every competitive show.
On Sunday, November 20, the Western Band Grand Championships combines all competitive classes at Veterans Stadium in Clovis. Competition is set to begin at 10 AM PST and run until 9 PM PST.
"I'm absolutely thrilled that FloMarching has the chance to live stream the Western Band Association finals," said Wesley Sullivan, senior rights acquisition manager for FloMarching. "California bands represent the best the marching arts has to offer, and for some reason California doesn't receive a lot of attention from the rest of the country. With this partnership, we are proud to offer the WBA finals not only to family and friends of competing band members but also to all of our subscribers. We view this as a great opportunity to highlight the prowess of western bands for the rest of the country."
