The campus of Central Methodist University and the streets of Fayette were once again filled with music and supportive cheers as the 58th Annual Band Day was held on Saturday, October 7. More than 40 schools were in attendance across the competitions in the parade, field, and indoor disciplines.
Many of the schools were led by directors who have attended or are attending Central. Alumni and graduate student directors include Shelly Swink (Glasgow), Lacey Gladden (Glasgow), Daniel Long (Norborne), Jessica Arnold (Cole Camp), Michael Williams (Salisbury), Andrew Maddux (Tipton), Tiffany Lechner (Blair Oaks), Alec Fields (Boonville), Connor Sanchegraw (Brookfield), Kylah Sisk (Clever), Casey McDonald-Schneider (Fatima), Ryan Lewis (Hallsville), and Kelly Neudecker (Fulton).
