CANCELLATION: Due to inclement weather and with regret, TBGO WILL NOT PARTICIPATE in the Portland Winter Light Festival Lantern Parade on the evening of February 9.

TBGO is back from its first-ever trip to Europe for Bloemencorso Bollenstreek (photos at left), playing day and night parades plus shows at an 18th century castle near Utrecht and along the shore of Switzerland's Lake Lucerne.

Music Director Steve Tolopka reflected on the trip with Halftime Magazine and (below) we chat with Monica Weitzel at MetroEast Community Hotline.

A big TBGO THANK YOU to Ken Klein for this cool video from Multnomah Days 2017.

Watch our performance at the 2017 St Patrick's Day Parade in Savannah, Georgia. See more performances in our Sound & Video Gallery.

Did you play in a high school or college marching band? Remember how much fun that was? Have you ever found yourself wishing you could relive those days? Well, dream no longer, my musical friend ...
The Beat Goes On!

The Beat Goes On is an all-adult marching band committed to delighting Northwest and National audiences while reliving the best parts of the marching band experience. The band is known for its feel-good attitude, emphasis on audience interaction, and spontaneity on the street and on stage. Though our musical tastes are eclectic, TBGO features a high-energy, brassy, rock and roll style — we may be a marching band, but we're more likely to play Lady Gaga than John Phillip Sousa! Band members hail primarily from the Pacific Northwest but come from as far away as Ohio, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and California for special events. If you are over the age of 18 and play (or used to play) a band instrument ... Come Out and Play With Us!

A huge THANK YOU to Samantha Swindler of The Oregonian and Oregon Live for a terrific story on TBGO, complete with pix and video.

Volunteers from Store to Door and shoppers at the Hollywood Fred Meyer in Portland, OR, were stunned when The Beat Goes On surprised them one morning in honor of National Older American's Month. Click here for the video!Jess Wishon has a short documentary that captures the flavor of the band. Check it out right here!
