Fort Dodge band plays in Phoenix for Fiesta Bowl

The Fort Dodge Senior High marching band is performing in today’s Fiesta Bowl parade in Phoenix. It’s the fourth time band director Curt Klein has taken the Fort Dodge Band to the event. Klein says there’s an application process that requires submission of a video of a band’s performance and a resume of the band’s accomplishments. The parade route is three miles long — a straight shot through downtown Phoenix. The band’s playing a Latin number they first performed in Fort Dodge this fall. The parade will air on television on New Year’s Day.
