Reser To Rock Even With Beavers Out Of Town
Even though the Oregon St. football team is out of town this weekend, Reser Stadium will still be rocking, as the OSU Marching Band hosts their annual competition for high school bands.
Twenty of the state's top high school marching bands, plus entrants from Washington and Idaho, will compete to see who sounds and looks the best.
Last year, the Southridge Skyhawks claimed the championship over Skyview, from Vancouver, WA, and Grants Pass.
Competition starts at 9:30, when Caldwell, Idaho steps off, and the preliminary round continues all day, capped by Glencoe at 4:00 PM, followed by a performance by the Oregon St. Marching Band, the oldest band in the Pac-10.
After a dinner break, the top 15 return for the finals, starting at 6:30, and continuing until just after 10:00 PM.
The OSU Marching Band will perform again as well, while the judges tally the final results, and shortly after 10:30, the championship will be awarded.
The Skyview Skyhawks made it an all-Skyhawk top two, finishing just behind Southridge.
Grants Pass claimed third place last year.
The event also serves as a recruiting opportunity for prospective recruits to the 'Spirit and Sound of Oregon State', as many members of the OSU Marching Band are former Oregon and SW Washington high school musicians.
All 40 performances can be seen for an admission of $15 for Adults, and $10 for Students and Seniors. Parking is free!

Other HS Sports Info 
However, there is the first state HS championship occurring this weekend: cross country. You don't really cover XC, but this would be a great time to have an article on XC.
