Poway Invitational Field Tournament The Poway Invitational Field Tournament, formerly known as the Poway Preview of Champions, welcomes bands from all over Southern California to perform at Poway High School in Poway, California. The Poway Invitational Field Tournament is designed to be a learning experience for both students and directors. Each band performs their field show for a panel of Southern California School, Band and Orchestra Association (SCSBOA) judges and receives a ranking or placement. This is the one of the first public performances of the marching band season for most of the participating bands and attached units. It provides each group an opportunity to perform their competitive field show for a supportive tournament audience. The competition highlights music, student teamwork, and an intricate display of team cooperation and discipline. Click here for the tournament schedule as well as visitor information.
