Central States  Marching Festival

Kansas State University

We will have loaded everything into the trailer during/after the game Friday night. 

We WILL take uniform bags on the buses with us, though, so we can change before the clinic

(possibly in the buses).  Dress appropriately to make this possible modestly!!!

As of now, the weather looks great! (70 degrees)
