If your high school marching band is looking for a parade banner we have created the perfect one for you. You have two options when creating a banner for your band. You can have 3-4 people hold it in their hands while walking. This doesn't require any pole pockets. Alternatively (recommended method) you can add a top pole pocket and two people can carry it in front of your marching band. This is the best looking way honestly. Another consideration is to put a bottom pole poke and put some weight in it when walking your route, this will keep the vinyl banner from swinging in the wind.
