Moundridge High School Marching Band at the Kansas State Fair

Is your school marching band participating in the 2026 Kansas State Fair? We are looking for 10 schools to help us open the fair each morning at 9:00 am sharp with their rendition of the National Anthem. To enter, simply record your band playing the Anthem and submit it to Melissa Blake, melissa.blake@ks.gov. We will select 10 bands, one for each day of the fair, to be heard across the entire fairgrounds. Deadline for submission is September 1, 2026.
