SCBDA 2A/4A Upperstate Championships

The SCBDA 2A/4A Upperstate Championships offers a positive experience for about 3,000 high school students and is one of the LARGEST competitive events for high school students in the state. The event is well chaperoned and supervised within a strict competitive format where positive crowd responses are highly encouraged and every band is recognized at the awards ceremony.

Sanctioned by the South Carolina Band Directors Association, it is considered to be an official state competition and judging requirements are identical to the state championship. The top placing bands from the Upperstate Championships will proceed to the State Championship Competition.
