The march-a-thon consists of three routes where the band will march through neighborhood streets playing a variety of songs.
Those individuals who donate $100, the band will stop at their houses and play a “lawn concert” consisting of the donor’s chosen song and the Brookville High School fight song.

The band will continue with the second route starting at 10:45 a.m. in the McMaken’s IGA parking lot.
The band will proceed onto Arlington Road where they will proceed to the old school field at 46 S. Hill St.
After a break the third route will take place at 11:30 a.m. from the old school field. The band will proceed on Hill Street to Westbook Road.
The band will turn right onto Westbrook Road and then left onto Terrace Park Boulevard.
