Cool–as a marching band alum (flag corps), I have to say I'm glad to see a band getting some press! Congrats to you all for winning the championship, too!
Ditto the above sentiment. Love that you covered this. Wish Annandale High School still had a parade as many members of the community have inquired about it. Who doesn't love a parade?!?!…especially the students! Would love to know why it stopped!
