— FRI 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
— SAT 8:00 – 10:00 AM
— Guest passes cannot be used to gain access to KMEA & KCDA state group concerts as those are ticketed events.

Congratulations to the following groups for being selected to perform at the 2026 In-Service Workshop. Performance dates and times will be announced in the ISW Schedule, which is typically released in the latter part of January.
