(KMZA)--Although the Landoll Family Sports Complex at Marysville High School is usually festooned in red and black, the school’s colors, vibrant shades of purple and white will be the dominant colors Friday, August 19.

Under the direction of Dr. Frank Tracz, the 450 members of the K-State Marching Band will spend the afternoon and evening on the Pat Landoll Memorial Field to lead “Marching with the Pride.” Nearly 400 local band students will join the marching Wildcats to have a hands-on approach to learn band techniques.

The event is sponsored by the Marshall County Arts Cooperative and Landoll Company.

Throughout the day, college professors and students will work with junior high and high school band students on playing, marching techniques and learning the fundamentals of performance.

At 7:00 Friday evening, there will be a public performance featuring the K-State Marching Band and all members of the local school bands.

Locally, bands invited to participate include Axtell, Centralia, Frankfort, Marysville, Nemaha Central, Onaga, Sabetha, Troy, Valley Heights and Wetmore.
