After proudly marching through the streets of Pasadena for the 2023 Rose Parade, we’ve once again been invited to the U.S.—this time, to celebrate a historic milestone in the very birthplace of American independence.
From July 1 to 4, 2026, Philadelphia will host bands from all around the world—from the U.S. to Ghana, Germany to Ireland, even Hong Kong—for a massive celebration that will draw more than 200,000 spectators.
We’ll be the only Italian marching band present, representing our country on one of the most prestigious stages for international marching music. It’s a rare opportunity—and we want to bring our music, energy, and Italian spirit to the heart of this global celebration.
Why We're Asking for Your Support
Thanks to years of dedication and the tireless efforts of our members, our small association from Triuggio, Northern Italy, has grown into an internationally recognized marching band, performing in Shanghai, London, Valencia, and Pasadena.
Each time, we've done everything we could to lower costs for our members, often reinvesting our resources to make these trips possible for all.
Participating in Philadelphia’s celebrations will cost each member around €2,700, covering travel, lodging, and meals. As always, the band will cover part of this expense—but we want to go further.
Our goal is to raise €7,500 to reduce each musician's cost by at least €150. That could make the difference for all our players dreaming of taking part in this unforgettable experience.
You might wonder why we’re starting this campaign so early. Organizing a transatlantic trip for about 50 musicians takes time—and booking flights and accommodation well in advance is essential to keep costs manageable.
What if we hit our first goal? We have an extra goal in sight: with an additional €4,000, we can cover the rental of instruments for the Philadelphia performances—another major step in making this dream a reality.
If you know us, you know we’re deeply active in our local community—and that we love to bring joy wherever we go, through music and performance. Over the last 21 years since our establishment, our band has traveled extensively, but this event is historic.
If you believe in our mission and want to see an Italian marching band take the stage in Philadelphia—please support us.
