CEDARBURG - The 21st annual Rotary Music Festival, canceled last year because of Covid-19, will return to Cedarburg this summer on Sunday, Aug. 8. Seven (7) Midwestern drum and bugle corps will perform at the Cedarburg High School Athletic Field starting at 7:30 p.m. The event is hosted by the Cedarburg-Grafton Rotary Club.
Participating drum & bugle corps include the Madison Scouts of Madison, WI, Cavaliers of Rosemont, IL, Phantom Regiment of Rockford, IL, Blue Stars of La Crosse, WI, Colts of Dubuque, IA, Colt Cadets of Dubuque, IA, and River City Rhythm of Anoka, MN. Three of the corps — the Cavaliers, the Blue Stars and the Phantom Regiment — ranked in the Top 12 in world championships in 2019.
“This will not be a judged competition as in past years, but instead will be a showcase that will give hundreds of young musicians a chance to get out and perform in front of a crowd after a year-long hiatus,” said Layton Olsen, chairman of the Rotary Music Festival. “It will be a very colorful and entertaining evening.”
All seats are reserved so advanced tickets are encouraged to get the best seats in the stadium. Ticket prices range from $20 to $40.
