The 35th Annual New Mexico Pageant of Bands was held Saturday, October 11, 2014 at Wilson Stadium. There were 1,597 students from 25 bands entered and about 3,000 tickets were sold to the public who enjoyed the music and pageantry in almost perfect weather. The event was well publicized and promotions for a music-themed quilt and free student entrance before 10 am resulted in vastly improved attendance for the morning performances.
