Marching band I'm in is scheduled for parades on 11/10 and 11/12 this year. The first one is in Albany OR and is supposedly the biggest Armistice Day parade west of the Mississippi. It might include a standstill performance afterwards ... the second parade is the one we usually play in Portland, the "Ross Hollywood" parade that is close enough to home I just bicycle to the staging area. Should be fun. The set list:

National Anthem March
Tribute to America
Venus
Veterans Salute

... and ...

America the Beautiful

I'm not sure why Venus is in there ... we could have done Washington Post or Stars and Stripes Forever. There might be a dozen other bands, maybe more. Here's the site for the parade:

Wonder if any NFL players will attend?
