“We have 29 bands competing,” said first-year Edwardsville High School Band Director Ryan Lipscomb. “There will be great competition there and a lot of well regarded and very talented bands coming. The competition at the top will be pretty fierce.”
Edwardsville High School will perform an exhibition at 9 p.m. to close the show. The theme of the EHS performance is “Polluted.”
“We are exploring oil spills and the toxicity of things in the environment with the show,” Lipscomb said.
The Edwardsville High School Band Boosters plan concessions all day. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. Lipscomb expects a capacity crowd by evening, so those wanting seats should likely turn out early for the event.
