More than 1,000 students from the seven junior high and three comprehensive high school bands will perform for the community on April 11 in a “Marching Band Showcase” at Sparks Stadium.

The showcase begins at 7 p.m. and is scheduled to last approximately one hour. The stadium is located at 601 Seventh Ave. S.W. in Puyallup. There is no fee to attend the event.

Each of the 10 bands will perform a musical selection while marching around the track. The bands will then line up on the field and play four selections together: “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Marches of the Armed Forces,” “Louie Louie,” and “Can’t Hold Us!”

The event offers the community an opportunity to hear each of the bands perform and for students to hear other district junior high and high school musicians.
