More than 200 volunteers representing the Prairie Music Association,
in conjunction with the College Community School District and the Prairie High
School Music Department, are proud to present the 11th annual "Bands
Across the Prairie" Marching Invitational on Saturday, September 24,
from 5:30 -9:30 PM.
This unique festival offers the ultimate in innovation for
marching band performance, education, and entertainment! This year, the "Bands Across the Prairie" Marching
Invitational will host nearly 2,500 students and spectators, supporting eleven
high school bands from across the state of Iowa.
A unique part of "Bands Across the Prairie" is the opportunity
for students and staff from each competing band to immediately view, on a 20-foot
screen, a professionally recorded DVD of the show they just performed, along
with expert suggestions for improvement by one of our three Critique Clinicians!
Our outstanding facilities allow us to alternate bands between adjacent critique
centers: our new state-of-the-art 1,000-seat Concert Hall and our existing
500-seat Theater! Each critique venue provides air-conditioned comfort along
with ice-cold bottles of water and the opportunities for outstanding viewing,
listening, and learning experiences!
Admission prices for this exciting event are $5 for adults,
and $3 for students and senior citizens.

Across the Prairie" Marching
Invitational can be found on links on the Prairie Music Association's
