Our amazing Red Rover Marching Band wowed the crowd and the judges tonight at the QVC West Chester Christmas Parade. They took home the FIRST PLACE prize for best marching band of 22 participating bands!
“The "Big City" style parade meets historic West Chester, Pennsylvania in this amazing production that showcases more than 4,000 participants each year. Now in its 39th year, the QVC West Chester Christmas Parade evokes the aura of Norman Rockwell paintings. The parade was named by USA Today as one of the top ten places to experience the arrival of Santa Claus during the holiday season. In addition, QVC Home Shopping Network (based in West Chester) broadcasts LIVE during the parade and also airs portions of the parade on Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day to more than 100 million households around the nation.
Participating marching bands compete for the chance to win a portion of more than $5,500 in prize money. This is one of the few competitive parade opportunities remaining on the east coast for high school bands. A panel of expert judges, who have DCI and WGI experience, lends credibility and excitement to the competition.
The 1-mile parade route travels through the heart of the historic business district. More than 35,000 spectators closely line the route, much like an experience on "Main Street USA." The entire parade route is free and open to the general public.
West Chester is located in Chester County, just 30 minutes west of Philadelphia or 2.5 hours from Washington, DC and New York City.
