2017 Fremont Festival of Arts

Summer is finally here, and there is no better way to enjoy the sun than going to a fair.with friends and food! Luckily, we’ve got the perfect festival for you! Every year, on the first weekend of August, Fremont hosts the Fremont Festival of Arts. Filled with awesome food (like funnel cakes) and fun activities. It’s a must go for local residents and visiting family. Like previous years, TBC will be setting up a funnel cake stand. Please make sure to come by and support all the hard work our members put in while enjoying some great food! Look out for us near Sweet Tomatoes, at the intersection of Walnut Ave. & Paseo Padre Blvd. Dates are Aug. 5th and Aug. 6!

Summer Parades

This year TBC’s Royal Regiment attended the Rancho Cordova July 4th Parade which was professionally adjudicated by NCBA judges (The same guys that judge you at band reviews and winter guard/percussion). TBC managed to place 1st out of all 5 bands while also picking up the music and marching sweepstakes. Even more impressive is that one of the other bands we beat was the Sacramento Mandarins a drum corps that competes at the World Class level! Our Cadet Regiment also placed equally well earning 1st place trophies for band, color guard, and drum major.

Make sure to come to our two other events for the Royal Regiment, the Salinas parade on July 15th and the Festival of Globe parade on August 13th. And if you still want to watch cute 6th, 7th, and 8th graders march, we suggest you join us at the Salinas Parade on July 15th and the Newark Days Parade on Saturday, September 16th. If you can’t make it, no worries! Follow us on Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. We will also be posting a recording a video which will be posted on Youtube, so make sure to subscribe to our channel. Please come out to support our junior high and high school members. See you there!

 

DCI Bonding

What a BLAST! All of the bands had us at the edge of our seats as we watched them play music WHILE running/marching around and creating formation after formation. Going to DCI West as a bonding event is a yearly TBC tradition that helps us remember why marching band is so exciting. If you were there, thanks for stopping by and saying hello! If you weren’t there, make sure not to miss out next year.

 

May Pasta Feed

Yet another resounding success! With over 130 participants, TBC was able to fundraise for our future plans to tour Italy. Don’t worry if you missed out! Be sure to keep a close eye since we may host something different from our typical pasta feed!

TBC is finally adjusting to our new technological age. Recently, we have created accounts for all facets of social media including: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, and even Snapchat. Make sure to follow us on these social media sites to keep track of all of our events over summer!
