The Pinckneyville "Mardi Gras" is a homecoming
type town celebration. We have a full day of
activities in Pinckneyville. There is a flea market
uptown all morning with many events. The field show
contest begins around 1:30 or 2:00 in the afternoon
at the High School Football field. Our average
number of bands runs around 10-12 and we use 2 or 3
classes depending on how many bands we have. The
cost for entering the field show is $100.00. The
parade is at night beginning at 7:00 pm. It is a
huge crowd of people and with the event being close
to Halloween, there are many dressed up people
throughout the parade. Awards are held after the
parade at the fairgrounds. We have a $500 grand
champion award to the band with the highest combined
score of parade and field. In addition all parade
bands get a check for $100 and we also have a $150
prize for the best parade band regardless of class.
$100 for 2nd and $50 additional for 3rd.
