The Coffeyville Community College Fine Arts Department will host more than 1000 participants in its first annual Dalton Defenders Days Marching Band Festival.
On Tuesday, October 4th marching bands from area schools such as Field Kindley, Independence, Caney Valley, and more will perform at Veterans Stadium from 9 am to 4 pm.
Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for students. The College says that you can come hungry, as there will be food trucks and concessions available during the festival.
Adjudicators will evaluate each band. The Director of Bands at Kansas State University, Dr. Frank Tracz, Dr. Phillip Payne from KSU, and Brad Shores from Bethel College will give awards to the top-rated performances.
Dr. David Wiggins the CCC Band Director says there will be something for everyone. For more information contact Dr. Wiggins by email at wiggins.david@coffeyville.edu.
