2024

Kearney will be competing in the Quad State Marching Competition at the Dakota Dome in Vermillion, SD on Oct. 19, 2024.

We load hat bags and buses at 7:30 am at KHS and depart at 8:00 am with a stop at Columbus HS, and arrive in Vermillon by 12:30 pm.

Pit Trailers park in area B on the Northeast side of the Dome. (In 2022, the pit trailers parked in lot 39 on the South side of the Sports Complex and the buses park in lot 36 to the South of the pit trailers) For 2024, the Buses will park in lots 36 or 39 to the South of the Sports Complex.  Look for our blue trailer, that’s the best I can recommend until we get there – or call Ed – this is a new layout this year.  Once we get our staging area established, we will unload the trailers and prep for the Band’s warmup and performance. 

The competition field is in the Dakota Dome ( 1101 N. Dakota St. Vermillion, SD 57069).  Our warmup time is TBD and we perform at 2:45 pm.  After our performance, we will load up the trailers.  Awards are at 4:00 pm and at 5:00 pm we leave for Kearney. We will have a dinner stop in Albion at the Albion HS Football field and then arrive about 11:00 pm. 

Please be sure to sign up on the Sign Up Genius (see below on the Band website for links). We need to know who will be there so we are sure to have sufficient help.

Thank you for supporting the Band by helping on the Pit Crew.  You are appreciated!

Remember to wear BLUE to support Kearney.
