The University of Nebraska at Kearney is hosting its 67th annual Band Day Parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. A long-standing staple of the fall marching season, the event features 36 middle and high school bands, along with the UNK Pride of the Plains Marching Band.
The parade route begins at 21st Street and Third Avenue, follows Third Avenue south to Railroad Street, heads east to Central Avenue, then turns north before ending at the intersection of Central Avenue and 24th Street.
UNK Band Day is a celebration of music that showcases programs from across Nebraska and serves as preparation for the Oct. 4 Harvest of Harmony Parade and Field Competition in Grand Island. The top three bands in each class will receive trophies for parade marching, with additional trophies awarded to the outstanding drum line and color guard and overall champion.
