The Ada High School marching band will conclude a two-week summer camp with a free performance in the school's south parking lot at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 28.
This year's competition show involves a chess game and is titled "Chess: Rise of the Pawns."
The 26-member band and 13 color guard members will perform at the Farmers and Merchants Picnic parade and the Harvest and Herb Fest parade before playing at the home and away football games.
The band is directed by Jonathan Lischak, now in his 9th year at AHS. Mrs. Amy Webb is color guard director. Callie Young and Jacob Colwell are field commanders this year.
