NEW YORK CITY -- It's merriment, mingling and marching. It's a real Fifth Avenue parade -- even though it only lasts six blocks. As it has every other year for the past 30 years following the Cornell-Columbia football game, the Cornell Big Red Marching Band will lead "The Sy Katz '31 Parade," down Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick's Cathedral to the Cornell Club on 44th Street, on Saturday, Nov. 13, starting at 4:45 p.m. Alumni will follow, dancing and singing. Then the marching band will present a concert in front of the club. (November 12, 2004)
