TBGO typically participates in an Independence Day Parade every year. However, in 2026 many of us will be in Liverpool on July 4. This is especially unfortunate since this year is the U.S. semisesquicentennial (250 years).
People have suggested there may still be enough band associates with the right instrumentation who'd like to do a July 4 parade here at home. That's an interesting suggestion, so let's find out! Although we don't have a firm booking (since we don't yet have a band!), the most likely candidate for July 4 would be a return to Hood River.
The survey is intended for band associates who will be in the Pacific Northwest on July 4. If you are taking the Liverpool trip, please do NOT answer this survey since you won't be able to do a local July 4 parade.
