Pirate Power Classic

$100 entry fee for all bands attending

Ahoy, mateys! The 2026 Pirate POWER Classic is ready to set sail. Join us for a swashbuckling Parade Competition on October 3, 2026. The first band will step off at 1:30 pm.
Once again, after the parade performances, all bands will return for our legendary Battle of the Bands. So hoist your colors, bring your finest spirit, and be sure to bring your crew to deliver the hype for your band's greatest hits!

Bands will compete for 1st-3rd Place Trophies in each class (determined by MSHSAA Class Size), along with awards for the Battle of the Bands Traveling Trophy, Overall Grand Champion, Outstanding Color Guard, Outstanding Percussion, Outstanding Drum Major, and the coveted Triple Crown Award, presented to the band that earns the most points across the Pirate POWER Classic, Marionville Applefest, and the Stockton Black Walnut Parade.

We can't wait to welcome your crew for a day of outstanding performances, fierce competition, and plenty of pirate pride! ⚓🏴‍☠️
Registration for this event is live! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Emory Thurmond at emorythurmond@phr6.org, or at (417) 267-2271, ext. 2312
