Dearborn High School band marches its way to Washington D.C.
The nation’s Capitol will play host to some high-stepping strutters when the Dearborn High School marching band takes to the streets during the annual Memorial Day parade.
It’s a big job — the band was selected to represent Michigan in the parade.
While they’re there, the band will attend a concert at the Navy Memorial, visit the Smithsonian Museum, the Supreme Court and will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony before the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.
To help defray expenses — band supporters said it would cost about $600 per student to travel to Washington, D.C. — a series of fundraisers was organized to get the band on the road.
