Officials of the Missouri Days Marching Festival have released a statement regarding plans for the upcoming Marching Band Festival which is set for Oct. 17: “2020 has proven difficult to plan anything. While there are many unknowns, we are continually planning for the 2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival. This festival has always put students first. 2020 is nothing different. We fully intend to work with local officials, and participating schools to ensure a meaningful educational experience for students, directors, and band families.”
The Trenton School has again offered the use of their facilities to host the festival. Officials remain optimistic that circumstances will allow the Missouri Days Marching Festival to proceed as close to “business as usual” as possible, while maintaining a safe, conducive learning environment.
This festival could not go on without the participating bands. That being said, communications have already begun among directors, the festival committee, and the network of music educators throughout the state.
Commitments have already been received from attending schools. Festival officials look forward to seeing everyone on Oct. 17. Should this year’s festival be canceled due to COVID-19, participating schools will be notified, and refunds issued for those schools that have paid their registration fees.
There is an outstanding panel of adjudicators and a top-notch line up of bands from the region planning to attend this year, and festival planners hope to see everyone in Trenton for the 2020 Missouri Days Marching Festival on Oct. 17.
