*Edit 8/25/23 - We have now reached our "soft cap" for this festival! If you are interested in joining us still, we can probably fit you in, but please send me an email first to dvanaalsburg@mg.k12.mo.us. to double check. I want to avoid a bunch of bands signing up all at once so that I can make sure we still have enough parking (unlikely scenario, but you never know)! Thank you!*

The Mountain Grove Panther Pride Band would like to invite you to attend the 1st Inaugural Mountain Grove Marching Festival on October 7th, 2023. We have a fantastic facility with a 2 year old state of the art turf field. This field show only festival will be a "one and done" format (no prelims/finals) and will be based on band size. Located in South Central Missouri, we hope to showcase bands from Missouri and Arkansas specifically, but all bands are welcome!

We want this festival to be a friendly learning experience for your students with lots of opportunities for "hardware". Every group will be given a video copy of their performance as well as feedback from judges to use for future performances. Awards will be given for 1st-3rd place by class in most captions including Music, Visual, General Effect, Percussion, Color Guard. There will also be awards for Outstanding Drum Major, outstanding soloist, rating awards for those who score a 1 or a 2 overall, and a Grand Champion award.

Classification will be based on wind/percussion numbers as follows:
Class A 1-25
Class AA 26-50
Class AAA 51-75
Class AAAA 76-100
Class AAAAA 101+
If any class has a huge group of entries, we will split the class in two by band size.

The entry fee to register is $250 before September 1st. Any registrations after this date will be $300. Invoices will be sent out to you at a later time. If you would like to join us, please fill out a registration form below so you may be added to the festival roster. If there is some information you don't know yet, give your best estimate and we'll send out a follow up form closer to festival time. Otherwise, if you have any questions please contact Daniel Van Aalsburg (Director of Bands) at dvanaalsburg@mg.k12.mo.us or Brad Dietz (Assistant Director) at bdietz@mg.k12.mo.us. We hope to see you at this year's Mountain Grove Marching Festival this fall!
