Tournament of Bands:

Tournaments of Bands is another popular organization in the NE that provided NJ another State Championships. First started in 2011 since it was brand new the amount of attendance was nothing like USBands States Championships as it slowly increased later on and TOB NJ States Championships attracted more smaller bands. Classification is based on the number of musical only from Group 1 to Group 4, and just like USBands it has "A Class" and "Open Class" which is the difference in competitive levels.

Hammonton Blue Devils:

A band that was able to compete with 1/4 of the student population in their school playing with around 170-220s members. Would have competed in Class 1A in now's BOA standard.


During the beginning of Tournament of Bands which started in 1972, they able to win 7 wins in Class III and getting highest score overall from 1973-1979 (they didn't compete in 1972). They used all their color guard and pompom girl effectively in their drill with amazing flag work and dancing in three rings formation which was their style that worked to win over 100 1st places throughout 60s and 70s also amazing playing and love adding funny moment in between shows consistently placing well in out of state competition and/or parades. In 1974 TOB Atlantic Coast Championships was able to beat Pennsville Memorial (NJ) with a whopping 12.35-point gap in Class III and in 1977 TOB ACC they were able to achieve an 8-point difference from the whole competition.


They were undefeated from 1972-1979 in New Jersey Music Educator Association State Festival Field Show.

Wayne Valley Marching Indians: 

The director wanted to capture of drum corps style show but a little slower in tempo with peppy style.

According, to a members the Board of Education was against funding the band effectively and everyone had to go to K-Mart and buy blue jogging pants and a white jogging jacket, along with white shoes and a white hat as they didn't have uniforms as well were issued red plumes that bled when they got wet until 1977, they were able to perform in uniforms. However, all of this barrier didn't stop them on become one of NJ bands band.

This was an international competition out in Paterson, NJ. It was believed Wayne Valley was 2nd place just one-tenth behind a band from Switzerland. Due to Paterson school system, be underfunded. The field fell into disrepair and was close for long period.

Governor Livingston Highlander (Berkeley Heights, NJ)
They have a rice history and traditions.

The Highlander Marching Band wears the authentic Royal Stewart Tartan Kilt, Plaid, Glen Garry and Sporran. The uniform is that of the Black Watch Regiment. The kilt contributes to the unique appearance of our Highlanders. Its original form was that of a blanket wrapped around the body for warmth. Gradually it evolved into two pieces; the plaid (which is worn over the shoulder) and the kilt. A kilt consists of seven to eight yards of tartan with three-inch pleats in the back.

Our Drum Major wears the formal dress Royal Stewart Whites and carries the crested mace, a symbol of leadership. The busby is another trademark of our Highlanders and is almost identical to that worn by the guards at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

The Governor Livingston Highlander Band enjoys a long tradition of musical excellence. Continuing the centuries-old lead of the Scots Guard, our Highlander’s music and motion retain a respectful degree of old-world traditions, while blending in contemporary sounds and sights. The spirit and dress of the Scottish Highlands are present when the Governor Livingston Highlander Band makes an appearance.

As well one of few NJ marching bands that use their very own bagpipe line while marching.

This is their uniform.
