King Band cancelled

The April 19 concert by the Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge has been canceled due to the current health crisis. The Decker Auditorium, along with all other Iowa Central Community College facilities, has been closed to the public at least through the month of April. The King Band will continue to follow the social distancing guidelines recommended by President Donald Trump, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Gov. Kim Reynolds until such time that it is safe to resume their performances.

This concert was to have been the band’s annual scholarship concert, along with Iowa Central’s cultural focus on Spain this year. Arrangements are now being developed to allow the acholarship applicants an opportunity to audition by other methods than person-to-person contact. Winners will be recognized with either $500 scholarships to Iowa Central Community College or a $1,000 scholarship to any four-year Iowa college or university.
