Dear Mayor Cunningham,
America's National Independence Day Parade, sponsored by the National Park Service,needs your help!
We need your office to nominate at least five(3) high school marching bands from your district
that would proudly represent Montana in celebrating the 250"' birthday of our great nation on July 4,
2026. We are asking for your nominations more than a year in advance of the parade to allow bands to organize
fundraisers, promote within their communities, and give ample time for families to save for this thrilling
experience.
Official invitations will be sent to each school upon receipt of your nominations. Your nominations will
serve to motivate,excite, and inspire music programs within Montana. We hope that any band you recommend
would be of the highest performance quality and would be a commendable representative of your state. You are
welcome to contact and invite the bands directly, so long as we are first informed of the communication and
aware of the nomination.
Every state of the union needs to have representation in the National Independence Day Parade,
and Montana has yet to have a band selected for state representation.
This world-class parade,which features military and veteran's units,marching band representation from
around the country, impressive floats, and many other specialty groups,takes place annually in Washington,
D.C. on Constitution Avenue along the National Mall, and commemorates our country's rich, patriotic heritage.
Please respond with your nominations by e-mail to infona,iuly4thparade.com by March 1,2025.
Please feel welcome to visit our website for further information: www.july4thparade.com
We thank you and your staff in advance for your thoughtful response and we look forward to having
yo rr s to represented in the 2026 National Independence Day Parade!
