All bands are invited to participate in this activity at Rawhide. Rawhide is patterned after an "Old Western Town" with real Cowboys, hayrides and stage coach rides for the students. There are shops available for any type of souvenir you may wish to purchase. The meal for the band groups is held in a large covered area that can easily hold 5,000 plus people. An excellent evening that your band will enjoy.

Note: actual Parade start time is 11:00 AM. This is the reason for being there! The Parade is usually 1.8 miles long and has very few turns. Very flat area so marching is not difficult. Temperatures can be in the mid-70’s but usually in the 60’s. The Parade is very well attended each year with over 400,000 people, many who are in reserved bleachers and seats. Please see the enclosed copy of last year's routing. This should not change that much for this year.

The Fiesta Bowl New Year's Eve Band Dance will be held at Chandler High School in Chandler, AZ. We will get this party started at 7:00 PM and dance the night away until 10:00 PM. This is a party you won't want to miss. You will be able to dance with JJ, the DJ, compete in the Bungee Run or defend yourself in the Joust. Great prizes will be available in the Casino Room Night and there is a Movie Room for you to relax and enjoy. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes and don't forget your cameras, you might just want to "capture the moment."
