The Youth in Music championships are a marching band competition held annually at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota in late October. This year's Championship will be on October 13th, 2012. Participating are the top-ranked high school marching bands from Minnesota, as well as participants from Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska. Due to the timing of the event, at the end of the field show season, it is considered to determine the Minnesota State Champion band. The program was begun in 2005 by Eden Prairie's Brent Turner, a former Corps Director of the Minnesota Brass Drum and Bugle Corps.

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or music:
“His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.”
—George Peele (1559–1596)
“Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses,
A box where sweets compacted lie;
My music shows ye have your closes,
And all must die.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
