Marching Band Day #marchforth

For our student tour operator friends – check the calendar – it’s #marchforth!

Marching Band Day is the perfect time to touch base with band directors and let them know how much we all appreciate what marching bands bring to an event.

Cheerful and upbeat, marching bands add an element of excitement to festivals, football games, parades, and everything in between.  These talented musicians balance technical skills with intricate movements designed to energize and wow the crowds!

Take a moment today to recognize marching bands and the special roles they play in our favorite events.
