You can help send the Falcon Marching Band to the Rose Parade.
On January 1, 2027, the BGSU Falcon Marching Band will march in the Rose Parade, one of the most visible and prestigious stages in the world. Only a small number of university bands are selected through a rigorous national review process, and BGSU earned its place. By 2027, the band is expected to reach 600 members, making it one of the largest university marching bands in the nation.
This invitation is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our students. Your support ensures that every band member, regardless of financial circumstance, has the chance to represent BGSU in Pasadena. The total cost of the trip is approximately $3,500 per student, and your gift directly reduces that cost for all members of the band.
When you give, you make the following possible:
- Access for all students - easing the financial burden so every member can participate.
- A national moment for BGSU - showcasing our students on a stage watched by millions.
- An unforgettable educational experience - building confidence, discipline and lifelong memories.
Your generosity has an immediate impact. Together, we can ensure that every student arrives in Pasadena ready to shine, and that cost never stands in the way of this extraordinary opportunity.
