Massive thanks to all who brought Metallica to their marching band programs, and congratulations to all the schools who claimed a prize!
If this is the first you’re hearing about this competition, here’s some background. Marching bands at high school and collegiate levels cranked their repertoires up to 11 to compete for nearly $200,000 in equipment by creating the most exciting, unique, and impressive performances incorporating our music.
Over 450 schools accepted our challenge! Once submissions closed, fans from all over the country chimed in, casting their votes for their favorite performances, while professional judges narrowed it down to five finalists in each category. Finally, we - as in the members of Metallica - chose the grand prize winners!
The victors in each category will receive instruments and equipment for their programs thanks to our sponsors TAMA, KHS America, Zildjian, D’Addario Woodwinds, Evans Drumheads, ProMark, and Gator, in partnership with Sweetwater, Conn Selmer, and Hal Leonard.

I am proud to say I was in my high school band. Metallica is my favorite band. I grew up two towns away from Malverne. This could be the coolest thing ever. Way to support the arts, Metallica!!!

Crazy thing about Metallica back in 1988, for me, they weren't even on the radar. I was stuck in Led Zeppelin and The Who and all the Classic Rock that was being played on the radio. Metallica was still underground and just becoming something that was kind of important in music. It wasn't till 90 when I finally started to make the switch. And then in 96 when I heard Blackened on some obscure sports radio show, that's when it was full on for me and I haven't turned back ever since. And regarding their new album, I listen to You Must Burn! and Too Far Gone all the time because I'm a road warrior salesman and gotta have good music in my ears as much as possible. Proud to say I'm 53 years old and I still and forever will love heavy metal music and Metallica 🤘😀
So awesome you guys are doing this to keep music alive in high schools. It’s a shame that it is disappearing
Is it, though? People have been saying high school music is disappearing since I was in school, and that was 25 years ago.
What I saw in this competition is a LOT of musicians.
@@facepalmdaily4404 It is disappearing. Telling you now, I graduated almost 4 years ago and the band I left is about 30% smaller than when I graduated. And nearly 50% smaller than when I was a freshman. There's 33 people left.
As a member of the AUMB, this competition and our show will undoubtedly be the highlight of my college experience! Thank you guys so much for providing this opportunity!
You Bands Geeks are pretty darn cool!
Awesome!!
You guys seriously knocked it out of the park, the city really. How long did it take to prepare? Choreograph and orchestrate?
@ItsAllAboutGuitar it was about 2 full weeks of rehearsal going over this show, our show for the week before this show premiered, and our pregame show! So while learning this we were learning and cleaning two other full shows as well!
Keep playin'!! 👍
450 schools!!!! That's awesome on its own! I hope someone makes a playlist with all 450 so we can watch'em all
My hometown high school won yay, that’s friggin awesome. Thanks Metallica for the amazing chance that it was to have my hometown put on the map. Cheers to my favorite band!
Sono italiana,qui da me ci sarà un solo concerto, purtroppo😢.... Metallica x sempre...
I heard Burney, TX!!! Heck yeah!!!👍
Congratulations to all the winners 🏆 👏
😭😭 I'm literally sobbing I'm a proud freshman of db. I'm so proud of my friends in db's band, I know they worked so hard on it.
Keep playin'!!!
As a former HS and college band performer and the parent of a former HS drummer, guitarist, and current college musician and metal head, we thank you!!!!❤
Small town USA won the high school award! That’s so neat! Congrats Kingsport!
It’s crazy how Dobins Bennet (Kingsport) is such a small town and they get first place in almost all of their competitions.
Im currently a baritone in the pride of malverne marching band i couldnt be more proud!!!❤️
Heck yeah!!! Keep it up!
Congratulations to all winning bands ❤
It’s amazing to see that you guys are doing this 👍
Congrats !!🤘
My son graduated in '20. During HS he was in JROTC, so we'd go to all the football games and my wife and I, along with everyone else, were mesmerized by the talent of the marching band. Their skill and passion was FAR CRY from what marching bands were back in my school days. These kids were so good, so creative and just so passionate, it was awesome to witness. And you also got performances from the visiting teams too which was just as special.
We miss those days, Friday Night Lights in Texas. It was the best, a real spectacle! We'd look forward to it all week, helping our kids prepare, all the parties and friendships we made with the other parents. Then our kids graduated and it all went away. I miss it dearly!
That's awesome! Congratulations to all the school winners! 🤘🏼
What a cool contest. Congrats to the winners!
Congrats to everyone who participated! Be proud to be a band member - I always enjoy seeing bands perform. You all work hard and those skills will serve you well in life. Wtg to support bands Metallica and all the sponsors!

Most Metallica fan's likely know that Mr. Burton was donating Cliff's Metallica royalties to local schools for music programs 🎺🎷🎹🎻🎸. Very cool of Ray to so this gesture 🤘🤘. I can't remember where i read this, though.
Nice job Y'all 🤙🤛👏

Genius Who came up with this idea
Where can I see all these schools that participated?
Congratulations 🤟🎉✨
WAR EAGLE!! That's where my kid is. I've actually seen the performance live. Yay!!!!💙🤎 Great job Auburn
I cannot express in the various languages of humans how happy this makes me. I am OLD enough that I got to see Mr. Cliff Burton in April 1986 at the Richfield Coliseum (hello, Cleveland!!!). My basement is a veritable Metallica shrine. I actually REMEMBER when Dee Snider knocked the socks off Tipper Gore and all the rest who would automatically equate the FREE healthy expression of metal with suicide, Satanism, etc. Now, Metallica is sponsoring community colleges and Frakkin' marching band competitions. I am LOVING this, every single DECADE, gentlemen!!!!
Honestly, RESPECT! Congrats Auburn (from a redhead, no less!) You sooooo earned your win!
AWESOME!
I've been listening to mettalica for the past 30 years and if I could change anything it would be nothing.
Bello/Magnifico.💍🎂💍💍🎂🎂
