The 26th annual Vikingland Band Festival will be held on Sunday 27 June 2010. 22 bands will be competing for the coveted Grand Champion award. The Honor Guard will step off from 4th and Broadway at 1:30pm.
Jerry "The Voice of Alexandria" and Margaret VanKempen, long-time supporters of the Jefferson High School Marching Band, will serve as this year's Grand Marshals. The Nøtterøy School Band, a group all the way from Norway, will serve as this year's Honor Band with expected step off at 2:22pm. The parade will wrap with the Mankato 77 Lancers.
From what I understand, the Alex band is much smaller this year, even tapping into 8th graders to march. Should be interesting, given when we were in high school the band pushed 300. Be sure to get your chairs downtown early ... the visiting crowds still begin marking their territory on Broadway on Friday night!
