Coming off of a remarkable 2022-23 campaign, the Pella Marching Dutch are gearing up for a new season. Senior Drum Majors Tess Hopkins and Stephen Gaul are excited to showcase their new show, “Wild,” after a year that featured participation in the prestigious Rose Parade. Both are looking forward to new challenges this year, which includes participation in the Bands of America Iowa Regional Championships during the competition season. The 5th annual Pella Marching Dutch Mattress Fundraiser will also be held on Saturday, August 19th at the High School Commons from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A portion of every purchase benefits the Pella Marching Dutch. Hear more about the band on the Let’s Talk Pella podcast.
