Local Sources- Area Marching Bands punched their tickets to state over the weekend.

Jasper and Forest Park were the two Dubois County marchers to receive the state invite. Evansville’s F.J. Reitz, North, and Mater Dei High Schools, along with Paoli, Springs Valley and Tell City, and South Spencer will also compete as local teams.

Marching band finals are Saturday, October 28th at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Tickets are digital only and must be presented on a smartphone at the gate. Those that do not purchase tickets in advance will need to buy them at the Southeast Ticket gate. All seating is general admission, so no reserved seating.
