The Junction City High School marching band will be among more than 35 high school bands from Kansas and Oklahoma that will participate in the 30th annual Central States Marching Festival Saturday at Kansas State University.

Participating bands have an opportunity for a one-hour clinic with members of the KSU Marching Band staff. For their field performances, bands will be judged by a panel of nationally recognized marching band authorities, receive individual clinics by members of the video critique panel after their field performances, and obtain a rating of superior, excellent or good by class with accompanying awards. Before the festival’s closing ceremonies, the Kansas State University Marching Band, the Pride of Wildcat Land, will give an exhibition performance.

Band clinics will begin at 8 a.m. at the Memorial Stadium FIeld and at the university’s indoor football practice facility. Field performances begin at noon at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and will be streamed live at BandDirector.com. A schedule of performances is available at https://bit.ly/2dZ7vr7. The Junction City High School Marching Band field performance is scheduled at 5:45 p.m.

Festival activities will conclude around 9:45 p.m.
