2026 Championships @ Lakeland HS
MAPA Championships is a special event that brings together ensembles from across the region for one of their final performances of the season. Featuring a double judge panel—similar to the one used at WGI World Championships—this event provides performers with a competitive and rewarding experience.
The event concludes with a full “retreat”, where scholarship winners are announced, students receive awards and recognition for months of hard work and dedication, and performers from different ensembles have the opportunity to connect and celebrate their shared passion for the activity.
