As the official drum corps of the city of San Francisco, the Renegades are an ideal match for the San Francisco Chinese New Year parade. With TV coverage, a huge crowd, firecrackers and dragons, this parade is an event not to be missed.
The Renegades would like to invite all of our drum corps brethren to join with us to march in the Southwest Airlines Chinese New Year's Parade on Saturday, February 11, 2012 followed by a post-parade party in the heart of San Francisco. This is truly a phenomenon you won't want to miss!

What: The Renegades will perform Enter The Dragon arranged by David Landers. Where: The parade begins in downtown San Francisco, heads through Union Square and finishes in the historic Chinatown district.

A mandatory rehearsal will be held prior to the parade from 12:00pm to 3:00pm at Renegades secret practice area, "Site X" on Treasure Island (in the middle of the San Francisco Bay). We meet at the parade for warm-up at 5:00pm. We will eat and party before and after the parade at Chevy's (see below).
