The 18th Hillsborough High School Raider Marching Band Festival is this Saturday, October 29th, kicking off with the National Anthem at 12:45 p.m. There are 26 competing bands plus the Raiders 9:45 p.m. exhibition of this year's show The Glory of Light.
This is the perfect event for those who attend football games only to see the halftime show and get a thrill when the bands pass by in a parade.
The bands are judged on the music, the program, and the execution.
The admission fee is $10, $8 for students and seniors.
##
Wear comfortable shoes. Be prepared to climb up the bleachers for an overview of the bands. The evening will get cool, dress in layers. Bring a few dollars for food. Be prepared to be overwhelmed. Give a cheer for all the band parents who act as "roadies."
This is a great family activity.
