The Boyertown Alumni Marching Unit Welcomes You!

Ever since its official formation in 1976, the all-volunteer, family-oriented Boyertown Alumni Marching Unit has proudly served the community while its members have had the opportunity to continue the musical activities that they love. Membership is open to alumni and residents of the Boyertown Area School District. The organization consists of three different performing groups; the marching unit, the concert band, and the ceremonial band.

Marching Unit

The marching unit is comprised of our brass, woodwind, percussion, color guard, and honor guard elements. The full unit marches in several parades throughout the year and also presents annual spring and holiday concerts. In addition to the unit's regular performances, the unit has traveled throughout the eastern Unit States performing in various events to include the country’s oldest July 4^th Parade in Bristol, Rhode Island, the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C., the Disney World Main Street Parade, nine Miss America Parades in Atlantic City, the Hershey Centennial Parade, the Midnight Independence Day Parade in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the Boys Scouts of America Centennial Celebration Parade in Washington, D.C., and the Lake George Community Band Festival in Lake George, New York.

Concert Band

The concert band is comprised of the full contingent of our alumni instrumentalists. This non-moving ensemble performs throughout the year with regular performances at Boyertown Fun Days, St. John's Hill Church, and The Great Swamp Picnic.

Ceremonial Band

A spinoff of our concert band, the ceremonial band was formed to increase the unit's involvement within the Boyertown community. Typically comprised of 15 - 20 musicians, this smaller group performs throughout the year at various community driven events. Recent performances include the Boyertown Oktoberfest, Boyertown Pickfest, and the Colebrookdale Railroad's 150th Anniversary Ceremony.
