Marching Band Competition

Top marching bands from the region march in our parades each year, and we’d love for you to join us. We hold two parades each day: the first at 2:15 p.m. and the second at 6 p.m. Band awards and drum line performances take place at 3:30 p.m. each day. Awards given each day include those for 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place and People’s Choice.

Applications for the Marching Band Competitions are due by Monday, May 1, 2023.
