"Last Blast" Marching Band Festival Set for October 18
Posted Date: 10/01/25 (3:58 PM)
Join us at Doug Adams Stadium for the Xenia Marching Band's 'Last Blast' Marching Band Festival on Saturday, October 18 at 6:00 p.m.
This year's line-up of 14 bands from across Ohio will represent 13 high schools and one college. Bands include rural fair-style bands, larger suburban schools, schools from Springfield, Dayton, and Cincinnati Public, as well as your very own Xenia Marching Buccaneers! Our evening will conclude with an exhilarating performance from our very own Wilberforce University's Hounds of Sound Marching Band as we close the night.
At the end of the night, the band's drumlines will gather centerfield for a drum battle, and following this, in the bus lot, a handful of the bands will gather in what is generally referred to as a pep tune battles or affectionately known as a 'punches' battle where these bands will go back and forth with fiery arrangements of R&B, Pop and Hip-Hop Standards.
This is one of the largest events and fundraisers in support of band programs in XCS. Merchandise and concession sales will be available throughout the night, and our students would love to see members from across the community in attendance!
Tickets are available online in advance, but will also be available at the gate.
Cash and card accepted in person.
