The Penncrest High School Roaring Lions Marching Band will be hosting its 4th Annual Festival of Bands at the Penncrest High School Stadium on Saturday, October 9, 2021.

Once again, this event gives local high school marching bands an opportunity to exhibit their field shows and to compete in a friendly "Drumline Battle".

10 Bands, totaling close to 1,200 students, are currently signed up to perform.

Marching Bands of the following high schools will be participating this year: 
 

Springton Lake Middle School

Penncrest High School

Brandywine High School

Henderson High School

Garnet Valley High School

Valley Forge Military Academy

Springfield High School

Pottstown High School

Owen J Roberts High School

Strath Haven High School

This fun and music filled event gives band students an opportunity to meet peers from other high schools and perform in a very friendly atmosphere. Our Band members consider the Festival of Bands one of the highlights of the marching band season. 

You don't want to miss this event!

Volunteers make it happen.

The Festival of Bands is organized by the Penncrest BPA's Festival of Bands Committee.

Many volunteers spend more than 6 months organizing all aspects of the event, which make the Festival of Bands a success. The proceeds from the Festival help to support many of the activities for the Band students throughout the year.

On the day of the event, the committee members are supported by many Penncrest Band parent volunteers, whose help is utilized to accommodate the 1,200 students and 2,500 spectators who attend the festival. 

​

This is an "All Hands on Deck" event!
