The
Portland Rose Festival One More Time Around Again Marching Band
presented by Standard TV & Appliance (aka the OMTAAMB) is comprised of
over 500 marching band fanatics who don't know when to quit! Members
range in age from 18 to 85 and have all marched at some point in their
life. Listen for the OMTAAMB in June as they march through the streets
of Portland in the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral
Parade and Starlight Parade and perform at the One More Time Around
Again Marching Band Concert.
The OMTAAMB is believed to be the
largest permanent marching band in the world. The band made its
debut in 1985, when it was formed to march in the Portland Rose
Festival Starlight Parade. In its inaugural year, the band
featured about 75 members, 32 of which are still in the band
today!
