Judging & Awards

Marching bands must play music during the entire parade route.  All marching bands participating in the parade will be judged in three categories, with the winner in each category receiving $500 per award:

  • Best Live Musical Performance
  • Best Community Spirit
  • Fan Favorite

"Fan Favorite” awards will be given to the units with the most votes by the crowd along the parade route, as captured by a crowd voting app. 

All other marching band awards will be determined in the Grandstand area and winners will be notified after the parade and receive an automatic invitation to return the following year.  Cash awards will be mailed to unit awardees after the parade.
