The Uncle Sam Day Parade is a parade held every year in Lansingburgh (north Troy) on or around Uncle Sam's birthday (mid-September). The band has performed in every Uncle Sam Day Parade since 2005 (except for 2007, which was rained out).
__NOTOC__
==History==
*[[2005-2006|2005]]: Manager [[AJ Macey]], himself a Troy native, arranged for the band to march in the Uncle Sam Day Parade for the first time in recent memory this year. The idea was met with some resistance initially, almost entirely because of the marching issue. However, after a short rehearsal and 15 minutes of marching practice, the band set out to "march" on what ended up being a particularly hot day. The setlist was just [[103 - Twist and Shout|Twist and Shout]], [[162 - Final Countdown|Final Countdown]], and [[Handjive]], and the band won first place in the Adult Division playing Final Countdown for the grandstand.
