The Mid-Ohio Classic at Watkins Memorial, presented by Premier Drums
The Mid-Ohio Classic is an OMEA adjudicated band competition hosted each fall at Watkins Memorial High School. The event was founded in 1978 by former WMHS Director of Bands Jim Morgan and has continued for more than 45 years. Typically held in the fourth or fifth week of the OMEA marching band competition season, the event has grown to host in excess of 15 groups from all over the state.
Mid-Ohio is held in the newly-renovated, 4,000 seat Warrior Stadium, featuring all new home-side seating, new restroom facilities, and a Field Turf performance surface. The contest has become well known for the selection of delicious, homemade food available at the stadium's concession stand. The Mid-Ohio Hospitality Room, set up as a place of rest and refuge for directors, bus drivers, and pit crews, has become a bit of an institution itself.
Each year at Mid-Ohio, one band is selected as the winner of the Jim Morgan Esprit deCorps award. This award is bestowed upon the band who shows themselves to carry the positive virtues of Jim Morgan throughout their participation at Mid-Ohio.
Ample parking, site logistics, and a beautiful stadium make Mid-Ohio a premier destination for OMEA competition.
