We hope you’ll be our guest at the 2005 Norwalk High School Cavalcade of Bands on Saturday, November 5. Help us celebrate 23 years of outstanding music and marching, twirling and tossing!
Once again, Norwalk is proud to host the Cavalcade of Bands, which has historically welcomed 20 or more bands from Connecticut and our neighbor states, including New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. The Cavalcade has been one of the largest shows in the Musical Arts Conference circuit and we anticipate another large show this year.
We expect another large turn-out of guests, marching bands and guards, so the next few months will be very busy for all of us who are planning this year’s Cavalcade. We’d like to keep you updated on Cavalcade developments via this web site, so if you don’t see something you’d like to see, please contact us via our webmaster.
