Join us in Melissa, Texas, on Friday & Saturday, April 25-26, 2025, for the second-annual Melissa Symphonic Showcase in the newly constructed 1,000-seat Melissa Performance Hall! Each ensemble will have a 1-hour time block on stage. This includes your warm-up and performance. This is a recording competition that will be used for TMEA Honor Band Competition and ATSSB OPS recordings. All ensembles will be adjudicated by a TMAA judge and the top 3 ensembles will be recognized.

Entry fees will be $450 for each performance slot. There is a total limit of 12 bands for each day.

David Burks Audio will be providing recording services for the 2025 Melissa Symphonic Showcase.
