High School Marching Festival Competition set for Oct. 25 at ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥

The University of Louisiana at Monroe Sound of Today will host the annual District 1 Band Director's Association High School Marching Festival Tuesday, Oct. 25 at Malone Stadium on the ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ campus.

There will be eight high school marching bands from Northeast Louisiana who will perform for an expert panel of judges.

Bands will receive a rating of one, two, three, or four, with "one" being the best rating possible for that performance. The rating is designated with a Roman numeral corresponding to the rating number received.

Bands that receive ones in all areas of performance are also said to have won "sweepstakes."

The first band will perform at 5:30 p.m. and the evening will conclude with an exhibition performance by the ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ Sound of Today marching band at 8:10 p.m.

There is a $3 admission charge for the festival.

ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ students, faculty and staff will be admitted free with a valid ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ identification card.
