For a donation of $75 or more, the band will stop in front of a house within the map boundaries and play 3 songs. An approximate performance time will be provided closer to the date. Lawn concerts will occur between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a lawn concert and don&#8217;t live within the boundaries, please coordinate with a friend who does. We love seeing groups of friends, families, and neighbors join together to enjoy a personal lawn performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2026 March-A-Thon Map<\/strong><br \/>Coming Soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">GENERAL DONATION<\/h2>\n<p>Band participation requires high commitment and discipline from all members to make notes of music jump off the page into a memorable marching or concert performance.
