Thanks for making this video and posting it. It's good to see the Sandie band again! We didn't do a marathon street parade fundraiser back in the dinosaur days, but we did wake up a LOT of people with 7 a.m. marching rehearsals at our practice field in Elwood Park near the 14th and Polk AHS building. Those rehearsals got pretty chilly by late October, as I recall. :^) Thanks again for the post. Go, Sandies, go! Chuck Oates AHS Class of 1966 and Drum Major, Sandie Band '65-'66
It was August 29th. They do this every year around this same time on a Saturday. They march for several hours around AHS area. They even have signs they put in people's yards to announce it and they have donation buckets for the band. We really enjoy this every year!

That was always so fun. Starting out bright and early marching down streets, waking people up on a Saturday morning!!

Ahhhh...the memories!
@luciamur I've lived on that street since 2001 and they've done it every year since that time
I don't remember APD escorting the band during our March-A-Thons. )Class of 05) : ) I went to Caprock. When did APD start doing that?
