Last Saturday, October 5th, the Southeastern Washington Cavalcade of Bands presented by Wendy's kicked off the marching band competition season in Eastern Washington drawing competing bands from Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Wendy's was elated to bring our budding We Love Band program to Cavalcade of Bands this year. During Prelims, the Wendy's Team made their way through the bands camped out around Kennewick High School to pass out the fan favorite We Love Band bucket hat which in 2024 features Frosty playing the sousaphone! Without a doubt, students – parents and staff too!– were in love with this adorable Wendy's merch designed specifically for band. While Wendy's food was not served at the competition, spectators were able to spin the Wendy's prize wheel for the chance to win free coupons to redeem for menu items such as the iconic Dave's Single or our morning favorite Homestyle French Toast Sticks. To wrap up the day's collaboration between Cavalcade of Bands and Wendy's, the Frosty Mascot made a special appearance during Finals Award Ceremony to present the 1st place award to Ridgeline High School for their outstanding musical and marching performance. Many thanks to the Kennewick High School Instrumental Music Boosters for partnering with Wendy's to continue the community tradition that is Southeastern Washington Cavalcade of Bands.
