53rd Presidential Inaugural Parade
 
On December 21, 1996, the Cheshire High School Marching Ram Band was selected to participate in the 53rd Presidential Inaugural Parade, "An American Journey - A Bridge to the 21st Century." With only three weeks to prepare for this "Journey", the band rehearsed music and marching daily in order to represent the Town of Cheshire and the State of Connecticut with pride. Many supporters came to the aid of the "Ram Band" to help them meet the challenge; a challenge which would pave the way to future accomplishments.
The Ram Band would like to thank the people who made this opportunity possible: the Cheshire Board of Education and school administration, the citizens of the Town of Cheshire and businesses throughout Connecticut. Thanks for helping us cross "the Bridge to the 21st Century".
