MARCHING PANTHER INVITATIONAL - What to ExpectThe Marching Panthers Invitational is the traditional “Kickoff” to Central Illinois high school marching band season.
Mark your calendar for September 9, 2023. This is a HUGE all-Day event as 20+ marching bands from all over Illinois take the field at Babcook Stadium and give their first marching performances of the season! The Marching Panthers perform an exhibition performance at the end of the evening. The invitational is also the band’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The funds raised are used to support a wide range of WCHS band programs. The planning starts early and committees are formed for each area of the invitational –many opportunities exists to get involved even before the event! The Boosters organize parent and student volunteers across various jobs - there is something for everyone! We need band parents to volunteer a minimum of (2) 2-hour shifts (or more!) in order to make the day run smoothly for our guest bands. More volunteers make the work a much easier day for everyone! This is a great way to meet other band parents at the beginning of the competition season! 2023 WCHS Band Invitational Committee Meeting Schedule Jun 5 – after Band Booster meeting Jul 10 – after Band Booster meeting Aug 7 – after Band Booster meeting Aug 14 – 7pm (location TBD) Aug 28 – 7pm (location TBD) Sep 4 – after Band Booster meeting Sep 8 – clean up and set up Sep 9 – MARCHING PANTHER INVITATIONAL!!! |
