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 event celebrated its 20th year in 2007.
The Classic Parade features approximately 12 competing 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 approximately 15 bands competing in four classes. A 10-15 minute fireworks display serves as the grand finale to the awards ceremony.
