Festival of Bands

Lincoln High School joins other Sioux Falls schools to host the Festival of Bands, which takes place the first Saturday of October each year. In 2024, join us on Saturday, October 5. The Festival brings bands from multiple states to Sioux Falls to compete in parade and field marching performances.

  • The Festival of Bands is a big fundraiser for band programs at Sioux Falls public schools and O'Gorman.

  • Everyone shares in responsibilities to make the event a success.

  • Our band also performs in exhibition (not for competition or scoring) in both the parade and the field marching events. ​​
