About VIFT
The Vista Invitational Field Tournament (VIFT) is an annual marching band competition hosted by Vista High School. Each year, student musicians and color guard performers from across Southern California showcase their talent, precision, and school pride.
VIFT is more than a competition—it’s a community celebration of music education, artistry, and youth achievement.
