Marching Band Parades, Events and Festivals
A big-event travel partner like no other.
Performing in a major parade, event or festival is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. The crowds. The cameras. That indescribable feeling of watching your students rise to meet the moment. Performance travel is always life-changing, but the experience of performing in one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year is something else entirely.
Make sure this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is planned to perfection, so that your students, their families and your staff can focus exclusively on the music and the memories. We’ll handle the rest.
Where Will Your Next Performance Take You?
Tournament of Roses Parade
Pasadena, CA
A beautiful way to ring in the New Year, The Tournament of Roses Parade is one of the most storied parades in the country. Floats constructed entirely of flowers, flanked by the best bands in the country, make their way down sunny Colorado Boulevard in historic Pasadena, as a TV audience of over 50 million takes it all in.
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
New York City, NY
For many, the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade signifies the start of the holiday season. Watched by millions on the streets of New York City, and almost 30 million more on TV, the parade features star-powered performances, celebrity guests and the famous balloon characters. (Some are over five stories tall!)
