History
The Osseo Marching Band Festival was created by the Osseo Band Boosters as a community event - to allow the local students of Independent School District 279 a place to perform in front of their hometown crowd and compete with other area bands. ISD 279 has three high schools within the district, Osseo Senior High School, Maple Grove Senior High School and Park Center Senior High School. All have a strong music department and a large marching band.
The first annual Osseo Marching Band Festival was held on June 24, 2007. Performances were by the 12 competing high school bands, the Osseo High School Marching Band (host band), the Osseo High School Alumni Band, and the 451st Army Band as the Honor Band. The Crystal VFW provided the color guard for the event.
