Sherburne Pageant of Bands: (Thursday, Friday night Jazz Band competitions,
Saturday parade and Field competition)

Seventy-six trombones is only a pittance compared to the massive Sherburne
Pageant of Bands which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 1999. Held the
first weekend in June in Sherburne, this spectacular event features high
school bands from throughout Central New York competing in parade and field
events. It's a show of sight and sound not to be forgotten.
