Sarah Strang/Nevada Sagebrush. Nevada marching band plays their show at the annual Sierra Band Crusade. Led by drum major Stefan Harpster, Nevada helped oversee 14 local area high school marching bands.

The University of Nevada, Reno hosted the annual Sierra Band Crusade—the largest high school band competition to take place in northern Nevada—on Saturday, Nov. 9. The competition features fourteen high school marching bands from the northern Nevada region, welcoming high schools from as far as Elko and Spring Creek.

The bands are judged by six different captions: music effect, visual effect, music ensemble, visual ensemble, percussion and color guard.
