Foothills Classic

31st Annual Foothills Classic

Saturday, October 24, 2026

The Foothills Classic is held each year in the fall.  Judges are selected from around the region and provide quality instruction and feedback.  The Foothills Classic strives to provide staff and students with judges that will help them perform better in and out of the classroom.  The FHC uses the Tennessee Bandmasters Association (TBA) Marching Band Sheets – which consist of Music Ensemble, Music Effect, Visual Ensemble & Visual Effect.  In addition to these sheets, there will also be judges for Color Guard, Percussion, and Drum Major.  The Color Guard, Percussion, and Drum Major scores within their caption do not affect the overall band score.
