The Waseca Marching Classic is noted for its hospitality and well-rounded experience for participating bands. Details such as 1-hour clinics, a large community parade, a luncheon for directors and a fireworks display have become hallmarks of the Classic.
The Classic Parade features approximately 10 marching bands and more than 100 total units. Thousands of spectators line the 3/4-mile parade route which travels on State Street from 2nd Avenue SE to 6th Avenue NE. Throughout the day, clinicians offer 1-hour parade and field clinics on nearby practice fields (available to the first 12 registered bands). Some of the clinicians serve on the judging panels for the day's events. The field show at the Waseca High School stadium features bands competing in three classes. A 10-15 minute fireworks display serves as the grand finale to the awards ceremony.
