It's official.  

We are going to be the lead band in the Lions Club International Parade of Nations in Seattle, Washington, July 5, 2011.  The band will leave July 3 and return July 6.  A highlight of the trip (besides the parade)  is watching a variety show of international acts including The Canadian Brass, CABO--a Japanese drumming group, and a Bollywood group.   Another highlight is the dance for teenagers participating in the parade.  Everyone will enjoy the Experience Music Project and the Science Fiction Museum as well as a tour of Seattle in an amphibious vehicle.  It's called the "Ride the Ducks" tour.

Here's the July 4 schedule:

Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum

♪ Ride the Ducks of Seattle Tour

(2 Ducks exclusively for the group for a1.5 hour tour)

♪ Free time to explore Pike’s Place Market

♪ Group dinner at Hard Rock Café (included)

♪ Fireworks at Gasworks Park on Lake Union



We are now in the process of fund raising.  This spring we will begin practicing our parade marching in practices 5:30-7:30 p.m.  More on that once we get a schedule made.
