Purchasing Medals

  • Bands receiving a superior or excellent rating at the 2023 SMBF are eligible to purchase medals to recognize this accomplishment. Order medals from the OMEA website (link). If you are looking to order medals by check, contact Dane Newlove, Director of Materials for the order form (ae_materials_director@omea-ohio.org).
  • Any participant in SMBF, regardless of overall rating, is also welcome to purchase a commemorative patch through the same online store as above. The patch has the year 2023 but not a rating.  There will be a different design in future years, and are available for $5 each.
  • In addition, we are offering a special combo pack consisting of a patch along with a superior or excellent medal, at a discounted price of $8 for the pair.  This is only available by ordering on the website and is not listed on the award order form.
