Since 2011, the Concert Band Festival has brought Texas high school and middle school bands to Tarleton for a day of performance, interaction, and collaboration. The event offers an opportunity to work with a guest clinician, who works directly with each band on stage after their performance. In addition to the guest clinician, a panel of adjudicators will offer pre-festival audio and written comments in preparation for their UIL Concert and Sight Reading Festivals.

Formerly known the Invitational Band Festival, the event is now known as the Tarleton Concert Band Festival and is now open to all interested groups as the schedule allows.
