The Juneau Volunteer Marching Band

2026 Marching Band

The Juneau Volunteer Marching Band is open to all wind and percussion players, 7th grade and older.  No marching experience necessary, but you must be able to walk and play your instrument.  Parade marches will be Washington Post, Stars and Stripes Forever,  and Your're a Grand Old Flag.

The marching band usually gets together once a year to participate in the Juneau and Douglas 4th of July parades.  In conjunction with the parades the band holds a sit-down concert in the park prior to the 4th to help get the community in the mood to celebrate.  This year, 2026, we will also have an indoor sit-down concert featuring our Youth Solo Competition winner, Foster Rushton on clarinet.
