Marching Band Students from all five SCPS high schools are collecting non-perishable food and monetary donations to help fight hunger in the community. Last year, the event provided over 30,000 meals for the community. The goal this year is 35,000. All proceeds benefit the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and at 7:00 p.m. a showcase of the fall 2018 marching band performances begins. For one night only, over 400 students perform on the Mountain View High School football field to show what is possible when the greater community works together to provide food assistance to those in need. Business partners donating $500 or more join students and administrators on the field for a Big Check Presentation to the food bank prior to the grand finale of the program.
