The campus of Central Methodist University and the streets of Fayette were once again filled with music and supportive cheers as the 61st Annual Band Day was held on Saturday, October 3. More than 25 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 included Micheal Williams (Salisbury), Ryan Lewis (Hallsville), Alec Fields (Boonville), Kelly Neudecker (Fulton), Sara Summers (Marshall), and Josh Yancey (Mexico).
