Rainbow City Marching Band is thrilled to be a part of Kitsap Pride, an annual celebration that takes place in the serene embrace of Gordon Fields, nestled within the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton, WA. Unlike a traditional street march, our band members will gather in this picturesque park, surrounded by lush greenery and open skies.

As the sun bathes the grass, our musicians, clad in their colorful uniforms, will perform with pride. The beat of drums and the melodic strains of horns will resonate through the air. We’ll weave our way through the crowd as we celebrate love, diversity, and resilience.

So, join us at Kitsap Pride as we play, dance, and create a harmonious symphony of acceptance. Let the music be our anthem, and let love be our guide. Together, we’ll celebrate the beauty of diversity and the strength of unity amidst the natural beauty of Gordon Fields.
