Join Renegades for the 2010 San Francisco
Chinese New Years Parade
CNY Parade

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 27, 2010 followed by a post-parade party in the heart of San Francisco. This is truly a phenomenon you won't want to miss!

Who:
Any drum corps member past or present who has marched at least one season (anywhere) and desires to march with the best drum corps in California for this once in a lifetime opportunity - center stage in downtown San Francisco on one of the most exciting nights of the year!

What:
The Renegades will perform Survivors Eye of the Tiger arranged by our low brass guru, Dave Landers. Brass and Percussion music posted. Guard Work Video NOW AVAILABLE.

Where:
The parade begins in downtown San Francisco, heads through Union Square and finishes in the historic Chinatown district. Only two miles in length, this is an easy parade for those who haven't marched in years. And besides, when was the last time you've had over a million people screaming for you?

When:
The parade commences the evening of Saturday, February 27, 2010. A mandatory rehearsal will be held prior to the parade from 12:00noon 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 5:30pm. We will eat and party before and after the parade at Chevy's (see below).

Why:
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.
