The Elizabethtown High School Marching Band is proud to host the Governor’s Gold Cup again this year! This year, the Gold Cup will occur on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The Gold Cup is prelims/finals format. Our facilities include a beautiful turf field (picture attached below) and a fantastic hospitality room! Our campus is large enough to hold several bands, but compact enough to limit major travel for competing bands.
We have a stellar judging panel (prelims/finals):
Craig Cornish (Music Ensemble/General Effect Music)
Tom Case (General Effect Music/Music Individual)
Rob Cason (Music Individual/Music Ensemble)
Don Deems (Visual Individual/General Effect Visual)
Ethan Smith (Visual Ensemble/Visual Individual)
Blair Kuhn (General Effect Visual/Visual Ensemble)
Brandon Thompson (Color Guard both prelims and finals)
Seth Whitaker (Percussion both prelims and finals)
Our centralized location to many schools should prove a great trip and experience for each band!
