Our Scappoose Bands (SMS & SHS Bands) are marching at the Grand Floral Parade in Portland, OR on Saturday, 6/6/2026!

The Portland Rose Festival this year combines the CareOregon Grand Floral Parade and the Starlight Parade into one exciting celebration. The Grand Floral portion begins at 6:30 PM with floral floats, marching bands, and community groups, followed by the illuminated Starlight portion at 8:30 PM featuring glowing floats and dazzling nighttime entertainment—bringing together two beloved Portland traditions in one unforgettable event.

Students should arrive at Scappoose High School and get dressed in their marching uniform with instruments ready between 3 - 4 PM. If you need help with your uniform, please arrive at 3 PM. The buses will leave SHS at 5 PM. Parent volunteers should arrive between 3-4 PM to help with uniform fitting and load band equipment onto the buses before our 5 PM departure to the parade. We should be back at SHS by 8:30-9 PM.

We are looking for parent volunteers to serve as band “outwalkers,” assist with water donations, and help ensure the event runs smoothly. Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B48AFA92AA7FCC61-63547377-grand#/
