Just before the last awards ceremony and under the direction of Mike Kurilko, the Trenton High School Marching Band – Downriver’s largest with 171 members – will perform their show “California Dreamin” in exhibition.   

“Our band family has been working hard for months to make sure that all visiting bands and their fans are treated to a great, friendly day of marching band competition in what one adjudicator has called 'the best and most well run marching band show in Michigan.”    Mike Kurilko 

The fundraiser features a concession stand, 50-50 and raffle prize drawings.
