Performing arts at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Last weekend drama club and marching band came together to march down Spring Road to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Elmhurst community. Although St. Patrick’s Day is March 17, Elmhurst celebrates a week early as to not conflict with Chicago’s parade day. Marching band performed “Runaway Baby” and the drum cadence, and the cast of Tuck Everlasting marched behind them to promote their show that begins selling tickets March 21 (get your tickets here!).

Marching Band


The four drum majors, Olivia Braun, Maya Moran, Jimmy Chaudoin, and Andrew Hilgendorf, lead the band through the parade, keeping time with drumline so everyone marches on the same foot.
