Copiah Academy hosts 42nd annual Marching Festival

Saturday, October 5, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Thirty-two high school bands will perform before a panel of judges, with the Copiah Academy band performing first. Judges provide feedback to each band as to how they might improve their performance before the bands are judged in state competitions the next week. During the festival, they will also compete for superior trophies as well as Best Band in Class. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into these performances as well as many hours of practice since the summer. The community is encouraged to come out and support these bands and see some amazing talent. Some college bands will be in attendance as well. Admission is $5.00 and children under 12 are free. Concessions will be available including McAllister’s Tea, Mazzios pizza, and a fully stocked concession stand. Several vendors will be on-hand selling various music related items.
