Pella High School is hosting marching bands from across the region at the annual Marching Dutch Invitational Saturday.

Drum Major Annika Boonstra invites the community to come see the Marching Dutch and other central Iowa ensembles. Boonstra says they’ve added extra elements to their show over the course of the past few weeks of rehearsal, and the band continues to be excited to showcase their hard work.

The event starts at 4:00 p.m. Saturday at Pella High School. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students, with those under five getting in free, and exact change is required at the admission gate. Social distancing is required, masks are required for all spectators, and there will be no in-person awards ceremony. Concessions can be ordered in person and virtually. The event will also be live-streamed on Pella Dutch Live on YouTube.
