Pageant bands are a type of marching band that performs in beauty pageants and other events. They typically wear SASHES (6 letters) as part of their uniform, which are often brightly colored and decorated with sequins or other embellishments. The SASHES are usually worn over the shoulder and across the chest, and they can be used to identify the members of the band. Pageant bands often play upbeat music and perform choreographed routines to entertain the audience.
