Poway Invitational Field Tournament

Poway High


School's Emerald Brigade will host the 21st Annual Poway Invitational Field Tournament


(PIFT) on October 19th at Poway High School's Titan Field. This is the largest


fundraiser of the year for the Poway High School Music Program. For PIFT’s 21st


Anniversary, Poway High School welcomes 20 marching bands and color guards from


all over Southern California to perform their competitive field show for a panel


of Southern California School Band


and Orchestra Association (SCSBOA)  judges


in front of a supportive tournament audience. The competition highlights music,


student teamwork, and an intricate display of team cooperation and discipline. Please


join this year's pageantry for one band or for the entire day. The San Diego State


University Marching Aztecs will also be performing at the end of the afternoon


and evening sessions. Gates open at 12:15 am with afternoon performances


starting at 1:15 pm and evening performances beginning at 6:30 pm. Hundreds of


volunteers, including parents, students and alumni are contributing their time


and effort to make this a successful and memorable event. City dignitaries, Poway High School alumni and PIFT sponsors


will participate in the afternoon and evening awards ceremonies.  Mayor Don Higginson presented the Sweepstakes


Award for the top band last year and will do the same this year. Refer to the


Poway High School Music Booster website (www.PHSMB.com) for additional
