Award winning marching bands will add to the excitement of the day. The Westhill and Stamford High School marching bands will march along with bands including Harrison, Norwalk, Trumbull, Brentwood, Uniondale High Schools and the NYPD Emerald Society Pipe & Drum Band - plus other marching bands from all over Connecticut, New York and Guatemala.
