Each year, Lions from as many as 130 countries participate in the annual procession on the second day of the convention, a tradition dating back to the early 1920s. The parade is an opportunity for Lions to display their enthusiasm for the association and their national heritage. Many Lions don traditional dress, colors or costumes representing their native lands for the march. They carry their countries’ flags with pride and sometimes sing and dance along the route, as well.
Each year, our All-State Band leads the Pennsylvania Delegation in this Parade, featuring over 15,000 participants!
This year's Parade of Nations will be held on Saturday July 8th in downtown Boston!

Alright Dr. McCutcheon! 🎼🎹🎺🎻
131 ensembles! Dr. Russell McCutcheon and Dr. Steve Marx were honored to serve as adjudicators for Music in the Parks this spring.
Music In The Parks is an educationally-focused music festival that provides school performing ensembles the opportunity to learn from exceptional conductors in the field of music education today.
Dr. McCutcheon provided feedback to 77 ensembles across 8 festivals; Dr. Marx did the same for 54 ensembles across 5 festivals. Both were excited to hear so many outstanding high school and middle school wind bands, orchestras, jazz ensembles, and even a percussion ensemble!
We had an amazing weekend making music together!
