Hosted by the Enka High School Marching Jets Band and Band Boosters, the Land of the Sky Marching Band Festival has been held for 32 years in the school�s former stadium located at Enka Middle School. With the completion of the new stadium, the time has arrived for the festival to relocate to Enka High School.
Enka Band Boosters are getting ready for this year�s festival which is scheduled for September 29th. Plans and preparations are being made to accommodate the 20 or more bands from Western North Carolina and surrounding areas that are expected to register and compete. In addition to the competing bands, the Enka Middle School 8th grade band will perform the National Anthem. The Enka High School Marching Jets Band (160+ members) and Western Carolina University�s Pride of the Mountains Marching Band (300+ members) will be performing in exhibition. More than 2,000 people are expected to attend the event. Bands compete in classifications based on the number of wind and percussion players in the band. Each band has a music theme and many use field props to enhance their performance. Awards are presented in several categories.
