Missouri Small School Band Directors Association (MSSBDA) festivals have two components to them. The first is an adjudicated portion where the ensemble performs for 3 judges. The second is a clinic from these adjudicators. MSSBDA takes pride in hiring adjudicators who have had tremendous success in small school settings, and can provide the best experience possible for your ensembles. The entry fee is $100. Registration Link

          While MSSBDA caters to bands in classes 1-3, bands from schools of all sizes are welcome. Please contact MSSBDA President Jerry Lintner; [email protected], or festival coordinator Doug Schaffer; [email protected], with any questions. 

We will do our best to keep this page updated with results!
