The Grand Slam Parade is seeking marching bands to participate in the 2023 Parade. The Parade is a mix of entertainment including unique floats, specialty units, celebrity talent, and special production numbers. Marching bands are an integral part of the mix; the pageantry, musical selection, colors, marching style, and auxiliary contributions help create a stunning
presentation. The Grand Slam Parade receives a wide variety of applications every year. Selected bands represent a mix of local, regional, and national music programs. Local bands (from the Lycoming County and Northcentral PA region) as well as nationally recognized bands will be included. The 2023 Parade will be broadcast live on WNEP-TV (ABC affiliate).
