The competition is held at Carlisle High School’s Ken Millen Stadium. The stadium features:
- Excellent lighting
- A clear and unobstructed view of the field from all seats
- Plenty of seating for fans as well as performing bands
- Easy entry/exit areas for performing bands
- Well-lit warm-up areas that are just the right distance from the stadium to balance the needs of the performers, pit, props/accessories, and not have warm-ups disrupting other band performances in the stadium
