Background

High school marching bands are invited onto a university campus to rehearse with and play alongside the university marching band for a halftime show or exhibition performance.[2] Band day may also be a competition, where high schools compete against each other, while the university bands play exhibition performances. Occasionally, the band day competition is hosted at a state fair, such as the Indiana State Fair Band Day held at the Indiana State Fair every August.[3]

gollark: I read Gaiman's *Norse Mythology* and quite liked it, but I also don't actually think it's *true* and wouldn't want to live in a Norse-mythology-driven world anyway.
gollark: Can gods communicate via LEDish "candles" instead of flamey ones? It seems a bit of a fire risk.
gollark: You should join my religion. We have a 30 days satisfaction or your belief back guarantee, and you can keep your existing religion.
gollark: I just ignore that sort of thing, for purposes.
gollark: Coolness, aesthetic sensibility, alignment with my ethical values, etc.
