The Cavalcade of Bands is a non profit organization composed of over one hundred member schools coming together to compete on the interscholastic level. Our motto is “Education Through Musical Involvement.” Operating under an executive committee who is elected by the total membership for a two year term, this board, comprised of both band directors and other professionals, is fully vested in the total administrative and policy making procedures. It is our firm belief that controlled competition can be a positive educational tool wherein the process of music education can greatly enhance general education and life skills.

We provide competitive opportunities with marching band field competitions in the fall and indoor guard and percussion units during the winter. Non competitive Jazz Band activities also occur throughout the winter and spring. Membership in the Cavalcade of Bands is open to any elementary, middle or high school students wishing to compete and/or participate along with any college or university students wishing to participate in exhibition or supportive roles.
