Congratulations to everyone who volunteered to help make this year’s Music Bowl an outstanding success. The visiting bands and fans seemed very appreciative, the weather could not have been any better, and our band looked and sounded terrific!
Now, it’s time for a shift in the weather as the STORM FRONT moves south to Champaign-Urbana for the Illini Marching Band Championships. The competition will be held at Memorial Stadium (1401 S 1st St) on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign. (View map & directions.)
The band will leave Saturday, stay overnight in Champaign, and return to DGS on Sunday. (View the Itinerary.) This is the next to last competition, and the last chance to see our Marching Mustangs before ISU. Event Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students/children (children 3 and under are free). Parking is located directly south of the Stadium in the Assembly Hall parking lots.
DGS is in the last grouping of bands and is scheduled to perform at 6:59pm. The Marching Illini perform at approx. 7:45pm, followed by the Awards Presentation. (View schedule of bands.) Please note: These times are approximate. There are 46 bands scheduled and timing could shift early or late by the end of the day.
