Central States Marching Festival
Manhattan, Kansas
October 10, 2009

The K-State Bands is proud to host the 23rd Annual Central States Marching Festival  at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Utilizing a festival format, CSMF is the finest marching event of its kind in the state of Kansas. Clinic sessions, adjudication, and critique sessions are all designed to provide the most educational venue possible and help to equip the marching programs in the region with the tools they need to continue to develop and succeed. We are pleased to provide Kansas with an innovative and thorough concept in marching festivals.

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.
