Cavaliers Alumni At Mardi Gras

From February 24th through February 28th, a group of Cavaliers alumni took to the streets of New Orleans to participate in Mardi Gras 2022. Over 100 alumni representing The Cavaliers from the 1960’s through 2021 age outs performed Tiger Rag, Up Town Funk, and Somewhere Over the Rainbow in the two largest parades of the festival that saw over 1.4M people celebrating in New Orleans. In performing in over 10 miles of parades, The Cavalier’s brand and the Village of Rosemont were put on display on one of the world’s largest stages for many to see.

The group started the week rehearsing at Holy Cross School on Thursday. With only 10 hours of rehearsal time to prepare, the instructional team led by Kevin LeBoeuf, Mike Martin, Matt Owen, Mike Green, and Scott McCoy quickly brought the group together in record time. The corps was asked to perform for the school during their on-campus Mardi Gras parade with our staff recruiting several of their young students to be part of the performance.
