2024 Quad-State Competition – Vermillion, SD
Kearney High School Band will travel to Vermillion, SD, for the Quad-State Competition. Any time we travel out of state there is seems to be a lot more to accomplish, so we could really use everyone’s help. Please make sure to sign-up through SignUp Genius so we will know who we can expect to assist.
The competition field is the Dakota Dome, and we will park the trailers on the south side of the Sport Complex (Lot 39). The band buses will park nearby in Lot 36. Look for our blue trailer, that’s the best I can recommend until we get there. Once we get our staging area established, we will unload the trailers and prep for the Band’s warmup and performance.
Remember to wear BLUE to support our Band.
Specific instrument and equipment line-ups, as well as trailer loading details, can be found under the Pit Crew main page.
