Allen Band on Fox News!

I’m so excited, our very own Allen marching band made the news today on Fox for their 10 mile march-a-thon! You can see my previous post for more information on that, or just watch this video!

March-a-thon 2011

Every year, our high school bands does a march-a-thon, a 10 mile march through the streets of our town. The purpose is to help the band members, color guard and dance team, raise money for their spring trip. This year they will be traveling from Texas to California, so mucho dinero is needed! Today is the big day.

My husband and I watched from the curb as the band stepped off at 9 am to begin the big march. This picture is definitely not the best, we were facing into the sun. It was a mere 90 degrees when they started, I hate to think how hot it will be in a few hours. We are going to meet them for their lunch break at the park, so hopefully I can get some better pictures later. :-)
