History - 2000

Year 2000 was another busy year for The Cavaliers performing their 2000 show ("West Side Story") at 7 BYBA competitions and the independent Kingston Youth Band Contest. The entry at Kingston was especially pleasing as the judges awarded the band the Winners Shield for top place in the Showband category.

The Cavaliers entertained the public at various fetes, Thorpe Park, The Anvil in Basingstoke, and at Wembley Arena. The 2 day appearance at Wembley was as part of the London International Tattoo where they performed their show and played in the finale with the Central Band of the White Russian Army, the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas, the Band of the United States Air Forces in Europe and the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Cavaliers' performance gained them a place in the BYBA National Championships at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.

And once again, the Cavaliers could be glimpsed on BBC Television, marching in the Lord Mayor's Show.
