Vancouver, Wash., band to be in Obama inauguration parade
By Associated Press
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - The Evergreen High School Marching Band and Color Guard from Vancouver, Wash., has been selected to represent the Northwest in the Presidential Inaugural Parade.
Since 2000, Evergreen has won the Pacific Northwest marching band title four times and finished as runner-up three times more. The band has also swept Sweepstakes honors in the past five Grand Floral or Starlight parades in Portland's Rose Festival. Band director Steve Kuske and the students didn't wait to see whether the band would be selected before they started planning the trip. Hotel rooms were booked well before the election was even held. The students organized fundraisers and the local American Legion made a donation to help defray some costs. About 150 students will make the trip, along with 30 chaperones. |
