Marching Toward a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity

The Pella Marching Dutch have been invited to represent our community on one of the world's most iconic stages: the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.

For the fourth time in school history, the Marching Dutch will march down Colorado Boulevard on New Year's Day, carrying the spirit of our community across the country and onto a global stage.

Why Your Support Matters

Behind every performance are countless hours of practice, commitment, and teamwork. Participating in the Tournament of Roses Parade requires significant travel, lodging, transportation, equipment, and event expenses for our student musicians and directors.

Our goal is simple: ensure every student who has earned this opportunity can participate, regardless of financial circumstances.

Join the Journey

The road to Pasadena belongs to all of us.

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, alumnus, local business, or friend of the band program, your support will help make this dream a reality.

Together, we can ensure the Pella Marching Dutch travel to Pasadena proudly, confidently, and ready to represent our community at the 2028 Tournament of Roses Parade.
