MANHATTAN -- The Kansas State University Marching 1xbet online casino will host 2,000 junior high and high school students from across the state at 1xbet online casino Day, Saturday, Sept. 26.

&1xbet online casino ;Band Day is everyone's favorite day,&1xbet online casino ; said Frank Tracz, director of the K-State Marching Band. &1xbet online casino ;It is a very long, hectic day, but the kids love it, and it is a great recruiting tool.&1xbet online casino ;

The day kicks off with a community parade at 9 a.m. The parade begins in Triangle Park in Aggieville, turns left on Moro Street, then right on 11th Street and continues to Poyntz Avenue where it marches east toward the Manhattan Town Center Mall.

The main event of Band Day is the halftime performance at the K-State vs. Tennessee Tech football game, which is set for a 1:10 p.m. kickoff. The K-State Marching Band will lead the 27 junior high and high school bands onto the field to play along with the U.S. Army's First Infantry Division Marching Band. Together the bands will perform various patriotic tunes, including &1xbet online casino ;God Bless America,&1xbet online casino ; &1xbet online casino ;Army Song&1xbet online casino ; and &1xbet online casino ;Stars and Stripes Forever.&1xbet online casino ;

The 1xbet online casino allocates 2,000 tickets for 1xbet online casino day participants, and Tracz said each year he has no problem using every last ticket.

&1xbet online casino ;There are some schools that as soon as we announce band day enrollment, they fill their forms out right away to make sure they get on the list,&1xbet online casino ; Tracz said. &1xbet online casino ;For a lot of the bands, especially the smaller ones, it is really a big deal to come to Manhattan and step on K-State's field to perform at halftime. It's a great experience.&1xbet online casino ;
