The Johnston Band Parents Association invites local businesses and community partners to support the 2026–2027 Johnston Marching Invitational, one of the first competitions of the season and a key opportunity for bands to perform for a live audience, receive professional feedback, and participate in a clinic without the pressure of awards or an all‑day schedule.
Because ensembles arrive for their performance block and depart shortly after, the event offers high‑impact visibility with continuous audience turnover and multiple touchpoints for brand exposure. Your sponsorship directly benefits Johnston’s music education programs by funding music, clinicians, equipment, transportation, and student experiences, all while connecting your business with thousands of spectators, students, and families from across Iowa who gather to celebrate and support the marching arts.

Businesses and organizations may now reserve booth space without purchasing a sponsorship package.

The main entrance is on the left side of the bleachers, with the concession stand directly beneath on the far left. Booths begin just past concessions and extend to the right under the bleachers.
