10 WEEKS TO GO!

Yes, AFB Fans, we are just 10 weeks away from the 2027 Tournament of Roses Parade @rose_parade on January 1. AFB members will join our friends from bands all across the country as the @pridebandsalliance forms the first-ever LGBTQ marching band to appear in the parade. It will be history in the making as our massed band of more than 300 people makes the turn at TV Corner! All the member bands are engaged in a campaign to raise the money to create a new set of uniforms for the parade (and future events) and cover the all the logistical costs of managing a band that size in Pasadena for a week. The goal is $300,000 and we are right at the $200,000 mark. Earlier in the year, this year's President of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Terry Madigan had a chat with AFB's Development Director Cliff Norris about the importance of this event for our national and worldwide LGBTQ community. Please donate to our fundraising campaign to help make this long-time dream become a reality. The donation link is: https://www.pridebands.org/donate/ #RoseParade2027 #TournamentofRoses #RoseParade
