This the fourth year the Port Angeles High School Alumni Band is participating in the Port Angeles Fourth of July parade: 2022, 2023, and 2024. We took last year off after the passing of the band’s founder, guiding spirit, and all-around super person, Richard Greenway. For more on Richard, go here.
YOU DO NOT need to be a PAHS alum to join us! We welcome anyone who loves music, marching, and inspiring young people to pick up an instrument and move their feet.
Don’t play an instrument? That’s OK! March along with us!
No alma mater? No problem!
Please register before June 1 so that we can have as accurate as possible estimate of the number of custom, collectible, limited edition PAHS alumni marching band T-shirts we have to order!
Saturday, July 4, 2026, from 4-7 p.m.
Port Angeles, Wash.
You! Sign up and join us!
The Port Angeles High School marching band has a long tradition in the community — from performing at football games to field shows to parades. Come relive the fun, play some tunes and invite your friends.

Port Angeles High School Band Director
Late, great and missed. PAHD class of 1995
Sequim City Band Director, PAHS class of 1998
Yea, no, I don’t think we will be doing sectionals for this. This is really not a complicated gig!
You never know where people have gone, or what they have done. We may be rushing through this, but catching up will happen!
The doctor says 20 mins a day. Let the Alumni Band help with some deep breathing and miles.
How many times have we won first prize for music at the parade? We’ve lost count…
Any extra we have left over after organizing this, or that we may collect on the parade route will be set to the PAHS Band Endowment Fund. If we do manage to take home one of the prizes, that is donated directly to the PAHS Band Boosters!
This is a fun group, and a very very short parade. It’s an easy way to spend a bit of time before the fireworks, and after the rest of the downtown activities.
All of the organizers are busy, work fulltime, and have other gigs. We can use some additional help.
What we need:
Reaching out to alumni. Break out your address books, Facebook friends, mastodon herds etc. More that can join this in any capacity the more fun it can be!
Documentation:
Again, busy. Share any photos from 2019 or 2021, 2022 or 2023 so we can have a wider variety of faces to showcase! Photos videos etc. can be just file dropped to us here: PAHS Alumni Band Uploads
Someone that knows what we are missing:
If you see something that needs to be added, or more details. Get in touch. Even if you don’t join, you can use the contact form on the bottom of the page to send a message.
Do I need to be a PAHS Alumni?
Absolutely NOT!
You just need to want to support the Band programs at Port Angeles Schools! We welcome all past and present band students to join us for this event! Even Middle school band students are welcome with the OK from their director! So make it a family outing and let’s all march together! (hopefully in harmony!)
What else is there to do?
Well there is lots I am sure we haven’t started planning for yet if we wanted. Step up if there is something missing. If you are looking for other things on the day. A good portion of us will be racing to this event after doing a full symphonic concert in Sequim with the Sequim City Band. If you have the time, join us there too!
How do I register for this event?
Really? You clicked on this? I left join links all over the place. I’m pretty much begging you to press one of them. Any of them! They all do the same thing!
How will I know what’s going on?
Join the group, and we’ll setup you up on the mailing list. The parade isn’t yet officially organized for this year. So who knows, it may not even happen.
Not ready to join, or want to help out in other ways, or just want to stay in touch? Go ahead and reach out directly! Use the form below or call/text (360) 564-5658
