Luverne band performs 'Moving On' to small home crowd

It was one for the history books. Luverne's iconic Tri-State Band Festival this year played out in the form of a marching band clinic to a small audience of family members in the bleachers at Cardinal Field Saturday afternoon. The Luverne band — the only one to play — performed its “Moving On” routine in full marching form, but the pandemic made its mark on the legendary event, which typically draws dozens of bands and thousands of people to Luverne. The Cardinal Marching Band members competed Saturday night under similar conditions in Brandon, S.D. where several other bands also participated.
