The Montevideo Band Program and the Fiesta Days Board are proud to announce the 2nd annual Montevideo Fiesta of Marching Bands. The band festival will be Wednesday, June 15th at 6:00 pm. This Fiesta Days event will showcase seven high school marching bands from around the state! Each band will perform their show three times during the mile-long route followed by an awards ceremony at the high school football field. The Montevideo Fiesta of Marching Bands is a marching band only band festival taking place Wednesday, June 15th at 6:00 pm. The band festival is a separate event from the Grande Day parade which will take place on Saturday, June 18th. The seven bands performing at this year’s band festival are The Patriots (St. Anthony Village), Fergus Falls, Lake City, Dassel-Cokato, KMS, Bemidji, and your very own Montevideo High School Marching Band. Participating bands will start the route at the corner of McKinley Ave. and S. 12th St. marching north then turning east onto Sheridan Ave. and finishing heading south on S. 17th St. concluding at the high school. Each band will perform once in each performance area marked on the parade route map. The third performance area will be the judged block. This is where all bands perform for a four-panel judge to receive feedback. All performance areas will be clearly marked for the audience and bands.
News from Milan
It’s been a week of cleanup and being thankful. Although I have spent lots of time picking up branches and sticks all over my yard, I had no major damage from last week’s storm. I have seen some devastating damage to buildings and groves. I had to throw out some food from my refrigerator, but nothing from my freezer. I am thinking about purchasing a generator, but haven’t made this major decision yet. 28 hours without power were boring, but doable.
EMS Week is May 15th-21st

Live Well, Age Wisely: Connecting to Resources
Let’s explore some of the agencies serving our area and the resources they have available. Despite their metro location, HOME Line and Minnesota Elder Justice Center provide service and advocacy across the whole state. In addition to the direct services they provide described below, they also have educational webinars (details can be found on the web sites given below) on related topics. I’ve learned so much from them!
