Are there any annual events with multiple marching bands in boston? I’ve never been to one but always wanted to. Thanks!

For high school bands, you can go to the MICCA marching band competition in the fall - I believe it's sometime in October.

There's also drum corps over the summer, which is typically college-aged performers who tour the country with their corps. There's usually a show in Lynn in July - look for DCI competitions.

Additionally, you could check the football schedules of the various colleges in the area and try to make a game where both schools have their marching bands there.

NESBA also holds competitions for high school bands. But everything ends in October, as far as I recall.

Honk is great fun, but I don't think it's what OP is looking for.

There is a Drum Corp though it looks like its too late in the season for much but I imagine there have to be some events over the summer.

Thanks! I was hoping with all the colleges, that there might be an annual event.
