Who Are We?

Second Time Arounders

The Greater St. Petersburg Area Awesome Original Second Time Arounders Marching Band (The "Rounders") is, as the name implies, the very first band of its type, and possibly the largest permanent adult marching band in the world.

Our Mantra: Dedicated to those who have marched in a high school, college or military marching band....and dreamed of doing it one more time.

The ages of the band members range from 18 to 85. Members come from all over Florida and the U.S. just to perform each season.
