90 minute break to allow for traffic to enter/exit.
******************
9 or Less Bands: Splitting of the day will not be required, performances would begin no earlier than 4:30pm.

Performance Time: Performance time is determined by class and payment receipt date, so please register soon and let accounting know of this policy.

Awards: This is a one-performance-only competition with bands competing for captions and placements within their divisions. Caption awards will be given in each class for Outstanding Music, Outstanding Visual Effect, Outstanding Percussion and Outstanding Auxiliary.

Uniforms: Due to the early-season date, and issues related to heat in the past, we are strongly suggesting your band consider alternative uniforms for this festival (shorts and t-shirts, for example). The judges will be aware of our request.

Festival Services:
The festival will take place on our athletic field which features RAMTURF installed in 2024. We have plenty of parking, ample seating for spectators and world-class hospitality for band staff and bus drivers. The Band Parent Organization will provide concessions, merchandise, and air gram announcements. Cash and credit cards are accepted.

Seckman HS is located 13 miles south of St. Louis just off of I-55 at the Imperial Main exit.
