Maine Bicentennial Parade

August 21, 2021

The State of Maine Bicentennial Parade presented by Poland Spring, is back on, now scheduled for Saturday, August 21, 2021, in Lewiston and Auburn.

This statewide parade will feature an intergenerational marching band, under the direction of John Neal, and we are hopeful that you will pass this invitation to participate along to your band members and any others you know in Maine who have musical talent. We would love to have horns, woodwinds and percussion performers from all across our great State.

We are also eager to welcome other full bands, whether marching or on a float, to participate in the parade, if your group is interested in performing as an individual unit. Please visit our webpage, www.Maine200Parade.com for all the information and the participation form.

Sign-up is open through the end of June for both the parade and the band. Rehearsal information, music and other details are posted at https://www.maine200parade.com/bicentennial-band.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions and thank you for helping to spread the word about the opportunity to participate in this historic event. We are on social media at @OfficialME200 if you could also please share our posts about the parade with your members/students.
