Saluting Our Veterans: Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni at the 2026 Clifton Veterans Day Parade
As part of our ongoing mission to keep the tradition alive and support our local communities, the Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps is proud to participate in the Clifton New Jersey Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
For our corps, performing at a Veterans Day parade is much more than just another march—it is a deeply meaningful opportunity to give back. The Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni make a distinct impact on this patriotic observance through:
-
Musical Tribute & Energy: Bringing the unmistakable power of our brass and percussion lines to the streets, performing stirring patriotic arrangements and classic repertoire that stir the soul and energize the crowd.
-
Standing With Those Who Served: Many of our own members, staff, and supporters have worn the uniform. Marching in Clifton allows us to personally stand shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow veterans and active-duty service members.
-
Community Connection: Providing a powerful, unifying musical backdrop that helps bring generations of families together to reflect on service, sacrifice, and civic pride.
Join us along the route in Clifton as we turn our instruments toward gratitude, offering a heartfelt musical salute to all who have made sacrifices for our nation.
