Band Day
Why will Band Day not be held on Opening Day?
With the new Fair format, Opening Day of the 2021 Indiana State Fair is now Friday, July 30. The Central Indiana Track Show Association (CITSA), of which many Band Day participating bands are members, has previously scheduled competitions the weekend of July 30-31.
Baton Twirling Competition
Why did the Baton Twirling Competition move to a weekday and new location?
The Farm Bureau Building auditorium, in which the competition has traditionally been held, is unavailable for use during the 2021 Fair. With the busy Fair programming and competition schedule and requirements of the contest – including a high ceiling clearance and a smooth, level floor – the West Pavilion was the only suitable location available for the contest.
Cheerleading Competition
Fiddle Contest
Why won’t the Fiddle Contest be held?
Due to the decreasing number of contest entries over several years, it was determined that a more efficient use of the space and finances would be to allocate them toward other programming and events.
Youth Talent Contest
Will I be able to watch my county entrant compete in the Youth Talent Contest?
Yes! There is room in the Indiana Arts Building 3rd floor space for parents and guests to watch their respective entrant(s) compete. Safety measures and precautions are still being determined whether a “show and go” format will be utilized or if attendees and exhibitors will be able to view other entries before/after they have performed.
