Sierra Nevada Band Series

SNBS strives to provide the means for a consistent and educationally based evaluation system that rewards growth through standards of achievement throughout Northern Nevada by way of a standardized set of evaluation sheets. We want to bring together directors, educators, performers, adjudicators, staff members and supporters toward a common understanding and respect for efforts and qualities in all phases of the art of marching band.
