Pageant of Champions Band Show in Berkeley Heights, NJ
Governor Livingston High School Football Field · 175 Watchung Boulevard, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922.
Drums echo across the field, brass catches the afternoon light, and the stands fill with proud parents. On Sunday, October 18, Governor Livingston High School welcomes marching bands from around the region for the 55th Annual Pageant of Champions.
The competition is a long running tradition at the Berkeley Heights high school. Bands come to compete and celebrate the art of marching band, and neighbors come to cheer them on. Union County Life readers looking for a Sunday afternoon outing can support local student musicians close to home.
Doors open at 12:30 p.m., and performances begin at 1 p.m. Governor Livingston's own marching band will take the field at 3:30 p.m. for a judged exhibition, which means its show is scored but not part of the competition. The awards ceremony follows at 4 p.m. Visitors can also expect food and community activities, including the school's well known Highlander Chili.
The Pageant of Champions takes place at Governor Livingston High School, 175 Watchung Boulevard, Berkeley Heights.
For the student musicians, it is the day all those early practices pay off. Find more Berkeley Heights events, arts coverage, and community news on Union County Life.
