The Pella Marching Dutch are just a few weeks away from taking the field for their first performance of the fall after weeks of camp and practice.

Director of Pella Bands Dameon Place says nearly 200 students are participating in the ensemble this year, and he’s excited to see that growth contribute to the ongoing tradition of excellence in the program.

The Marching Dutch earned the school’s 44th consecutive division I superior rating from the Iowa High School Music Association in 2020. Pella High School bands are hosting a mattress sale fundraiser Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Pella High School commons on the east side of the building.
