The online Falcon Marching Store is now open!

https://apmarchingband26.itemorder.com/

In order for items to be ready by our first marching contest, the web store will briefly close on September 10th. It will be reopened shortly after, but anything ordered after that date will not be ready in time. There may be a change in design of the hat, but if there is I will update the post.

There will also be additional items on the secondary order if you would like a shirt for any season of the year!

The Parkersburg Days Parade falls under the statewide Family Week, and there are to be no school sponsored events during this eight day period. Therefore, the band will not be marching during the parade under IHSMA, IHSAA and IGHSAU policies.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, your directors look forward to another great year!

Congratulations to Riley Ward on coming in first place on the 2026 Justin Nelson Young Artists Competition sponsored by the Cedar Falls Municipal Band. The winner of this competition will get the opportunity to perform a solo alongside the CFMB in the summer (with his super proud director!). More details on his performance will be released at a later date.

Of the 12 auditioning, AP had three strong candidates, all of which were praised for their performances by the municipal band directors. Congratulations also to Lindy Aswegen and Savannah Hennigar for a great audition. All three students earned a Division I rating at Solo/Ensemble contest on April 11th.

Congratulations again!
