More about the Marching Dodgers
The Marching Dodgers have appeared in local parades in Madison, Morristown, Boonton and Millburn. The group has also performed on Main Street in Walt Disney World in Orlando, and will return there next May.
The Marching Dodgers have a rigorous schedule. In addition to practices during the week, the Marching Dodgers have a full performance schedule. They entertain at home games, and travel with the Madison Dodgers football team to away games to play as a pep band in the stands, supporting the team and rallying the fans. The band kicked off its competition season Saturday, Sept. 21st, at Hunterdon Central Regional High School and the season will run through the beginning of November.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Marching Dodgers Booster Club and the Madison Marching Dodgers are inviting the public to come to the event on Sunday, October 4th, or another performance during the season to demonstrate support, and most importantly, enjoy the show.&nbsp;
