Lincoln-Way Marching Band Continues To Prep For Rose Parade

FRANKFORT, IL — The Lincoln-Way Marching Band continues to march closer to their Rose Parade appearance with several upcoming events, according to a release from the District.

First, the LWMB will host the Lincoln-Way Marching Invitational at Lincoln-Way West High
School on Oct. 12. The community can come see the marching band's field show, as well as performances from other marching bands across the area.

The LWMB will also host a Tournament of Roses send-off event on Nov. 2 at Lincoln-
Way North at 6:30 p.m. Join to watch the band perform one more time before they travel to
California for the show, the District said.

This performance will coincide with the Tournament of Roses BandCares initiative, where Rose Parade-bound bands give back to their community. A donation of a non-perishable food item to the New Lenox Township Food Pantry will be accepted as the admission fee for the event.

The last fundraising opportunity for the LWMB is a raffle to win a customized golf cart worth up to $10,000. Only 2,500 tickets are available for sale and a minimum of 1,500 tickets must be sold to raffle off the golf cart, according to the district. If the minimum ticket sales are not met, then cash prizes will be awarded instead. Raffle tickets are $25 and will be sold through Nov. 2.
