Over the past 17 years South Philly has been the most consistent prize winning band in the String Band division. having placed in the top 3 or better 13 times, with the other 4 years finishing 4th. In the past 6 parades South Philly has won 4 championships!
Our captain, Denny Palandro, has also taken top honors in the past 2 parades. Denny’s leadership on the street has led the band to unprecedented heights. He has also been one of the top captain’s in the division with finishes in the top 4 in 10 of his 14 years as captain.
We look forward to seeing you all at our String Band Champions Serenade! (dates and details coming soon!)
