Rhythm on the Route

High School Band

 

The "Rhythm on the Route" program is Jefferson Parish's "battle of the bands," where middle school and high school marching bands compete along the Veterans Blvd parade route for the opportunity to earn bragging rights, a trophy, a banner, and prize money for the school's music program. This program offers the opportunity for marching bands to showcase their talents and earn much-needed dollars for their programs, as well as providing the public with top-notch entertainment during the carnival parade
