| The Cavaliers began
a busy 1996 on New Year's Day by taking part in the 10th annual
London Parade and it's attempt of achieving the record for
the "World's Largest Marching Band" - an event they
had helped publicise on television the previous December in
the "Record Breakers" programme on BBC-1.
In May, the band achieved its first BYBA Premier Division
win at the Crawley Youth Marching Band Championships - overall
Premier Class winners as well as receiving the trophies for
Dress & Turnout, Best Field Commander, Colour Guard, Best
Wind Section, and joint Drill & Deportment winners.
The success of their 1996 show - based on the hit musical
"Phantom of the Opera" - secured the band a place
at BYBA's National Finals later in the year. At that event
The Cavaliers delighted their supporters by bringing home
two awards - Best Turnout, and the award that speaks volumes
for their accomplishments - Most Entertaining Band!
To complete the year, the band was asked to participate in
one of the "Music for London" Concerts that were
run as a prelude to the 1997 London Parade.
