Band camps are over and football season has begun.
That means area high school marching bands are ready to show off their routines for the season at the 73rd annual Alle-Kiski Valley Marching Band Festival.
Organized by the Alle-Kiski Valley Band Directors Association, the festival allows area marching bands to perform their full routines outside the time constraints of football game halftime shows.
This year, 11 area high school units will perform: Apollo-Ridge, Burrell, Deer Lakes, Freeport Area, Highlands, Kiski Area, Leechburg Area, Penn Hills, Plum, Springdale and Valley.
The band festival this year will be hosted at Highlands Golden Ram Stadium in Harrison on Wednesday. The rain date will be Thursday.
Admission is $5 at the gate. The show starts at 7 p.m.
