West Ranch High School students and faculty are gearing up for the 9th annual Wildcat Classic, which officials called a day-long display of musical artistry.

More than 20 high school bands from the Santa Clarita Valley and around the region will gather for the Southern California School Band and Orchestra (SCSBOA) Marching Band Competition.

The Wildcat Classic is set to take place Saturday, Oct, 21 from 3-9 p.m. at Valencia High School’s football stadium, located at 27801 Dickason Dr. in Valencia. Tickets are $10; parking is free.

Each high school band will compete by division, followed by a showcase performance of the three-time state champion West Ranch Band and Colorguard.

The day-long event culminates in an awards ceremony with awards presented in each division as decided by a panel of SCSBOA judges.

The performance schedule will be announced prior to the event.

Vendors will be on site with plenty of food and drink options, as well as gifts and apparel for the music enthusiast.
