[font=arial][size=12px]The UNC Charlotte “Pride of Niner Nation” Marching Band has been selected as the official band to represent the United States in Normandy, France, in June 2018. The performance will mark the 74th anniversary of D-Day. Each year, one band is chosen to represent the U.S. at the D-Day commemoration. The honor was historically reserved for official military bands, but in recent years has been assigned to university marching bands of distinction.[/size][/font][font=arial][/size][/font]

Nice honor for the kids who helped start up our marching band.

This seems like a great honor. I hope our band gets some “local and regional recognition” for this. They deserve it.

All of these articles mention fundraising to help pay for the trip, but there’s no link to where you can give, to tap into the potential excitement. I’m no marketing genius, but you’d think that would be setup before putting out a press release.

This is a big deal. Congrats PoNN!
