Hannibal Band Day

Area marching bands will try again to gather in America’s Hometown for a fall tradition.

Expected rain means a one week postponement for a long-time Hannibal tradition. Hannibal High School Activities Director Clint Graham says Band Day will now be held next Tuesday, October 17th.

Over two dozen area marching bands descend upon the streets of Hannibal for the 68th annual Hannibal Band Day Tuesday.

The 67th annual Mark Twain Marching Band Festival - better known as Band Day - took place Tuesday in Hannibal. 29 high school and middle school bands from around the area took part in a parade down Broadway, and several bands also performed at Porter Stadium during a field show on Tuesday evening.

Band Day is a always an event Hannibal residents look forward to each year. Marching bands from around the region gather in America's Hometown for a parade down Broadway, and then a field show at Porter Stadium.

The rescheduled 66th annual Hannibal Band Day takes place in downtown Hannibal and at Porter Stadium Tuesday.

Hannibal school officials are postponing the annual Hannibal Band Day festivities due to the rainy, inclement weather. This year's parade and field show are being pushed back one week to Tuesday, October 21.
