The University of Wisconsin-Madison Marching Band is scheduled to make a rare appearance in Neillsville.

The Neillsville Kiwanis Club, with support from several community business sponsors, will present a performance of the UW-Madison Marching Band on Saturday, Feb. 29, at 2 p.m. at the Neillsville Fieldhouse.

The concert will be the second time the band has ever performed in Neillsville.

“Their 2015 concert was a very entertaining event, and this year’s show promises to be a great encore,” wrote Brent Shoup, a Neillsville Kiwanian.

A combined area high school band featuring students from Neillsville, Granton, Greenwood and Loyal will perform a half-hour prior to the concert.

Tickets are required at the event and are available at several local Neillsville businesses, as well as by contacting a Kiwanis member.
