77th Band Day to March into Williston Saturday
Weather or not, here comes the 77th annual Band Day.
Yes folks, the city of Williston will be putting out the red carpet as some 12 bands prepare to take part in the annual parade which begins at the El Rancho and finishes near the New Armory.
Bob Mossing of Regina, Saskatachewan, brings some 80 band members to town with his Prairie Winds Concert Band serving as the Guest Band.
Mossing has been bringing his students to Williston for many of his 50 years in the business.
The day is also set aside to honor Grand Marshal Gary Stenehjem who lost his battle with cancer just last week.
Officials opted to continue with Gary as the Honorary Parade Marshal and using this time to honor the late Williston native who brought his Jim Hill bands here over the years.
The weekend provides a great number of activities, from the Williston Vintage Classic Car Show to the WHS Rodeo at the fairgrounds.
Add to that concerts in the park, along with some fast paced racing at the Williston Basin Speedway Saturday evening.
Entertainment Inc! gets in the act with their presentation of “Pajama Game” at the Old Armory Theatre.
We encourage you to get out and enjoy.
