Marching Band/Drum & Bugle Corps
I've been in WDW a few times for performances....
I never actually marched in a HS band in WDW, but I was there on staff with the band I teach for New Years 2000 to 2001. They did a parade in MGM, starting at Star Tours and headed to the fromt of The Great Movie Ride where they did a stand-still perfomance of "America" from West Side Story. The headed out towards the front of the park on backstage there.
In drum corps however......
In 1996 until 1998, WDW was partial host to the Drum Corps International World Championships. Competitions were held at the Citrus Bowl, individual and small ensemble performance were held in Pleasure Island and Many, if not all completing groups did at least one parade/performance in one of the parks.
I was with a group called the Raiders at the time...
The first parade I did was around the World Showcase...I don't remember what I did (I'm in the pit, no marching keyboards

). The second year (97) was my last as a member, and I got to lead the corps from Frontierland and down Main Street while I carried the American Flag :sohappy: !!!. I wish I had appreciated WDW more back then :hammer: .
In 2000, my wife was with the Cadets of Bargen County and got to do a full performance in front of Cinderelly Castle!!!
I thinks that all.....
