THE LPA PIPELINE
LPA is a pipeline for students with professional band aspirations and is creating professional-level marching bands. This includes weekly competitions where member bands compete for cash prizes. Member bands have priority access to collegiate program directors for student recruitment, professional sports leagues for performance opportunities, international travel opportunities, and admission into the annual LPA finalists invitational to compete
for a grand prize.*
HOW TO COMPETE
Each member band pays an annual competition fee which includes admission into all league-sponsored standard competitions, standardized production equipment, league rules, grading scales, & designated competition classifications based on band region, size, and
experience level.
