Performance Schedule
Exhibition performance by the Kansas State University Marching Band just prior to the closing ceremonies.

Individual "mini-clinics" by members of the video critique panel immediately following each band's field performance.
Optional hour-long on-field clinics in the morning before the festival performance. Bands that opt for the on-field clinic can perform part or all of their field show for members of the K-State Bands faculty and staff. The comments and lessons taken from these morning sessions can consequently be applied to the band's festival performance later that day.
