| Celebrating 35 years, the Annual Waseca Marching Classic is on Saturday, September 17, 2022. Once again, the goal is to provide the best possible day for high school marching band students.
To honor the fans, the Classic Committee is proclaiming the 35th annual to be FAN APPRECIATION DAY! Ten $50.00 cash prizes will be drawn throughout the field show competition. Those purchasing a field show admission wristband are eligible to win.
The parade is at 12 noon in downtown Waseca. Thousands of spectators line the parade route which travels on State Street from 2nd Avenue SE to 6th Avenue NE. Special parade guest, River City Rhythm Drumline will entertain the crowd.
Professional judges critique the parade and field competitions. Throughout the day these same six judges/clinicians offer one hour educational music clinics to the participating bands.
The 5:30pm field show competition at the Waseca Jr.-Sr. High School Stadium features bands competing in three classes.
The Maverik Machine from Minnesota State University, Mankato, is our featured guest.
The 8:30pm awards ceremony is followed by the grand finale, the Classic fireworks display, a favorite of the band students.
