Oct. 10th: Lincoln-Way Invitational

The Marching Mustangs return to competition today in Frankfort, IL at Lincoln-Way East High School, at the 14th Annual Lincoln-Way Marching Band Invitational. LW East is located at 201 Colorado Ave, on LaGrange Road, about 3 miles south of I-80 in Frankfort, IL. The competition boasts a strong field of 22 bands, including many of those that will vie for the Top 10 at ISU.
