Cape Fear Colt Classic

​

The Cape Fear High School Colt Classic Marching Band Competition will be held on October 18, 2025. The 11th Annual Colt Classic will be a North Carolina Bandmasters State Adjudicated Event.

​

Cape Fear High School is located in Cumberland County. We are easily accessibly from I-95 and Highway 24 being just minutes off of either.

​

Our competition begins early in the afternoon, making it possible for you to potentially get a practice run in at your school prior to departing for Cape Fear.

​

Registration space is limited so and performance order is determined by first to register. "First to register is last to perform in class." 

​

Classification is based upon total number of winds and percussion. After the registration deadline, class sizes 1A-4A will be created to establish equity among the classes. If we need to expand larger to create more equity, we will do so.
