Lights! Music! Marching! The Delmarvacade of Bands returns to Wicomico County Stadium on Saturday Oct. 22, and will showcase eight high school bands that are a part of the Maryland Marching Band Association (MMBA). Spectators are invited to come to the stadium to enjoy the music and showmanship of marching bands from Wicomico County Public Schools and beyond.
The bands competing will represent Wicomico High School, Kent Island High School, Annapolis Area Christian High School, James M. Bennett High School, and Parkside High School. Bands performing in exhibition include Mardela High School, Snow Hill High School and Cambridge-South Dorchester High School.
Delmarvacade of Bands takes place at Wicomico County Stadium in Salisbury, and is hosted by the Parkside Band Boosters. Admission to this event is $10 for adults and $5 for children and students. This is an incredible musical and visual event and it is a great opportunity for families with young musicians to see and hear what high school band is all about.
