About Spectacle

The Spectacle in Sound, hosted by Upper Dublin’s Marching Cardinals, is one of Upper Dublin’s longest-running traditions, drawing marching bands -and their fans - from Eastern PA and New Jersey since the mid-70s.
Our 2025 show on September 27 will feature 10+ bands. Spectacle is often one of the year’s biggest crowds in one of UD’s biggest venues.

The Importance of Business Sponsorship

Marching Band programs build teamwork, leadership skills, musicianship and demanding physical skills, and UD’s program is rigorous enough that it’s the only non-sport activity in which UD students can letter. But every marching band season is expensive and only partially funded by the school district and students’ annual dues payments. To keep the program vibrant, we also depend on the support of the Upper Dublin community, and are proud to recognize that support at our biggest event of the year.

For information to come in July.
