The SoundSport International Music & Food Festival presented by Jazz Wealth
DCI Festival Marketplace outside of Lucas Oil Stadium
500 S Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225
At this time, we are scheduled to perform 10:50 AM to 11:00 AM.
ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN TIME ZONE! (1 hour earlier than Central)
KNIGHTLINE: Be at parking lot IFA Event Lot 650 at 8:00 AM to unload the truck and warm up. Be in half uniform, wearing everything below the waist and your chain mail undershirt and wrist bands, and carrying your tunic AND BELT. We will walk to the performance space, a distance of almost a mile, so bring something with wheels to help transport your instrument.
PRO TIP: If you can’t find parking, the lot immediately across W McCarty St. immediately south of of the Lucas Oil South Parking Lot (where the corps unload), has all-day parking for $20, and is only 1 block from the Practice Lot [bottom-center “P” icon in the photo].
This will be our first SoundSport appearance. The Knightline will be performing in exhibition about midway through the roster. Come cheer us on!
Groups perform a 7-8 minute marching music show in an area measuring 30 yards × 20 yards. The window for each group is 10 minutes in length, including set-up and exit, so things move quickly. Your best bet is to arrive early, enjoy the festival with all the excellent food and amazing performances, and when we step up, let the world know it’s KNIGHTTIME!
See the SoundSport website for details and schedule updates, and see the SoundSport Facebook page for last-minute additions and details about the food vendors.
