The Beat Goes On Marching Band
Performance Schedule

Laissez les bons temps roulez! TBGO heads to Galveston to celebrate Mardi Gras Texas-style! Parade steps off at 7:30 pm and loops twice through the Entertainment District.

Parade steps off at 6 pm starting at the Seawall, then travels down 25th St and through the Entertainment District.

Laissez les bons temps roulez! The Mysti Krewe of Nimbus organizes a family-friendly Portland Mardi Gras Parade every year ("the last Mardi Gras Parade in America"). TBGO was part of this event for the first time in 2017 and returns to the scene of the crime for another year . Parade steps off at 7 PM at Victoria Bar, 4835 N Albina Ave, and heads south on Albina and Mississippi Avenue to NE Fremont.

Northeast Portland is throwing its 36th Annual St Patrick's Day Parade (read the story of this quirky event here). We'll head west from Fernwood/Cleary School (NE 33rd & Hancock) at 1 PM. Huzzah for neighborhood parades!

You know what'd be fun? A Mardi Gras parade with a bunch of little kids and a slightly crazy marching band. Well, guess what -- that's what's happening today at the French American International School. TBGO will step off and lead a procession from the flagpole at the front of the school to the nearby firehouse on NW Johnson St and back to the flagpole. Immediately afterward we head into the school gym to play some tunes. Hey, for once we're expecting the audience to dance more than the band!

What a great way to announce "We're Open for Business"! We'll be at the Tanasbourne Town Center New Seasons Market Grand Opening beginning around 11:45 am with a selection of our favorite tunes. Come meet Caesar the No-Drama Llama and stock your pantry!

Casey "Beefwater" Bay (one of iHeart Radio's staff members) has an autistic son and wanted to do something dramatic to wrap up Autism Awareness Month. So on April 30th, he is going to walk from the radio studios in Tigard to Moda Center to raise funds for the Autism Society of Oregon. TBGO will meet him at the Steel Bridge around 10 am to escort him the last few blocks.

TBGO is visiting Touchmark in the West Hills for a short parade through the grounds followed by a 45 minute show. You can bet there will be selections from our patriotic music accompanying our usual eclectic mix of feel-good tunes. Parade starts at 11 AM and concert follows immediately afterward.

After a pandemic-induced hiatus, Donald is BACK baby!!! 99% of the hazelnuts produced in the United States come from Oregon -- a darn fine thing to celebrate! Donald does it with a classic car cruise-in, BBQ cook-off, your favorite eats, plenty of booths for shopping, and of course a PARADE! We'll be part of the parade (which begins at 11 AM), followed by a standstill show. You'd be nuts not to celebrate with us!

Dory Days is an annual celebration of the local dory fishing culture unique to Pacific City, Oregon. It has been recognized by the Oregon Heritage Commission as an Oregon Heritage Tradition and joins only a handful of other events for this honor. This is the festival's 66th year -- and a second visit for TBGO. Parade steps off at 11 AM and we'll be around for more tunes following the parade. Want to know more? Try The Story of the Pacific City Dory.

We're headed up the Columbia River to add a TBGO touch to the hydroplane races and Art in the Park. We're doing standstill shows both days, time still TBA.

We love to get conferences off to a rousing start. We'll be at University Place Hotel to get this year's technical conference cooking!

The Northeast Community Center's building first opened its doors in 1925 as the Northeast Portland YMCA. In December 2004, after the YMCA announced plans to close the facility, a dedicated group of neighbors had a dream – to create a center of fitness, wellness and connection. In 2005 the Northeast Community Center was the result. It's time to celebrate 20 years of creating community in this historic 100 year old building!
