Come cheer on the Melrose Marching Band on Saturday, October 5 at our biggest home Northeast Scholastic Band Association (NESBA) Competition Show! The festivities start at 4 pm on the Fred Green Field. Your Melrose Marching Band will perform "Reach for the Stars" at 6:30 pm!

22 bands from across the state will perform with over 700 band students taking our field, as well as UMASS Lowell and Boston University Marching Bands! UMass Lowell performs its exhibition show at 8:50 pm and then Boston University concludes the show at 9:05 pm.

Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for students/seniors. Come hungry because there will be a full concession stand including grilled Italian sausages with peppers and onions, burgers, veggie burgers, pizza, gluten-free options, great desserts and much more!

The public is warmly invited for any or the entire event. It's great for families, especially for those with budding musicians. Go, Melrose!
