CCU’s Chanticleer Regiment performs in London's 2023 New Year’s Day Parade . . . Watch Our Chants GO!
Coastal Carolina University’s Chanticleer Regiment marching band, under the direction of the band director and associate professor Garrett Griffin, participated in the 2023 London New Year’s Day Parade (LNYDP).
The London New Year’s Day Parade has a five-decade history, draws a live crowd of 500,000, and reaches up to 600 million viewers around the world. Ninety-two student musicians will travel and perform on the international stage. University mascot Chauncey, who is technically British in origin, as his character is derived from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, will travel for the first time to his homeland.
“Being invited to participate in the LNYDP is an honor and a recognition of the high quality of our band program at CCU,” said Bornholdt. “This event will bring national and international exposure to the cities of Conway, Myrtle Beach, and the University.” - Claudia Bornholdt
