Event History

This event started in 1999 when Mr. Kurt Bauche was Director of Bands at Farmington High School. This event was originally run through the Southeast Missouri Band Directors Association, but has recently been run by the Farmington Band Boosters. The focus of the festival is for groups to have a clinic experience in an auditorium and to have an opportunity for students to hear other groups in the first semester.
