The Pella Marching Dutch open the competition season in a few weeks, but will unveil their full performance to the community before beginning on the road to festivals across south central Iowa.

The first “unveiling” of the entire show for the Marching Dutch will be held for the community with a show scheduled on Saturday, September 18th at 8:30 p.m. at Pella High School. A free will offering that evening will benefit The Well.

That program comes one week before the Marching Dutch Invitational welcomes 20 bands to Pella High School the following weekend on the 25th, with Pella closing out the evening in exhibition. Knoxville, Pella Christian, and PCM are among local schools competing. Tickets will be available at the gate for the performances from 4-10 p.m.
