The Manheim Township Marching Band will host "A Showcase in Sight and Sound" on Saturday, Sept. 20, at Gene Kruis Field at Manheim Township High School, 115 Blue Streak Blvd., Lancaster. The gates will open at 5 p.m., and bands will start performing at 6 p.m. Several local food trucks will also be on hand to provide food and beverages.

The showcase offers a unique opportunity for families, students and community members to witness the performances that the young musicians and performers have dedicated months to perfecting. Each band will perform its halftime show, complete with musical arrangements, drill movements and visual effects.

Nine local bands will share their 2025 field shows, and the Manheim Township Middle School will perform the National Anthem. The high school groups scheduled to perform include Elizabethtown Area, Ephrata, Tulpehocken Area, Lampeter-Strasburg, Solanco, Lancaster Catholic, Penn Manor, J.P. McCaskey and Manheim Township.

There will be an admission fee with separate prices for adults, and seniors/students, with a price cap for families. Tickets will be sold at the gate with both cash and Venmo accepted.
