The Crescent City Cadets, under the direction of Mark Richards, is a youth beginner drum and bugle corps (ages 8 thru 16) that allows young musicians to experience the music and pageantry of the drum and bugle corps world. The C.C.C. prepares them to enhance their skills as musicians and citizens of the community.

The C.C.C. meets at St. Francis Xavier School, 215 Betz Place off of Metairie Road in the second floor music room. There is no need to call first. Just show up with your own brass instrument (trumpet, trombone, flugel horn, mellophone, etc. if you have one) and mouth piece or drum sticks (drums provided).
