Keokuk CSD Bands

08/23/2026

On this final day of summer break, we want to take a moment to celebrate all of the hard work that the high school marching band has put in over the last month! These students have worked exceptionally hard to get a jump start on marching season, and showed tremendous growth throughout the process.

Additionally, we would like to thank each of the restaurants and businesses who provided meals, snacks, and drinks to help keep our students fed and hydrated:

Fat Jimmy's Smokehouse & Catering
Dr. Getwell's
The Hawkeye Restaurant
Gingerbilly's Food Truck
Hy-Vee
Casey’s Pizza and the Zetterlund Family
Dairy Queen of Keokuk

We hope to see you on Tuesday night at 6pm at Meet The Chiefs, as well as right after for our rescheduled preview performance!
