Band Day refers to an annual marching band festival or competition, usually intended for high school bands.[https://web.archive.org/web/20111006040436/http://web.cfa.arizona.edu/uabands/bandday/ University of Arizona Band Day]
Background
High school marching bands are invited onto a university campus to rehearse with and play alongside the university marching band for a halftime show or exhibition performance.[http://www.umass.edu/band/bandday/ University of Massachusetts Amherst Band Day] Band day may also be a competition, where high schools compete against each other, while the university bands play exhibition performances. Occasionally, the band day competition is hosted at a state fair, such as the Indiana State Fair Band Day held at the Indiana State Fair every August.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cavaliermarchingband.com/band-day |title=University of Virginia Band Day announcement |access-date=2014-08-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904210231/http://www.cavaliermarchingband.com/band-day |archive-date=2014-09-04 |url-status=dead }}
