The North Allegheny High School marching band has been picked to march in the Jan. 20 inauguration parade from the Capitol to the White House.
Band director Todd Stefan applied for the spot by submitting a DVD and other materials to the presidential inauguration committee, and the school learned recently that it was chosen.
"On Inauguration Day, the eyes of the entire world will be on Washington, D.C., and will see the exceptional talent of these students," said U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire, D-McCandless. "I know that the North Allegheny Marching Band will make all Western Pennsylvanians proud as they march down Pennsylvania Avenue on Inauguration Day, and I look forward to watching their performance."
"This will be a wonderful experience for the students in our band to be a part of this historic time -- one they will remember their entire lives," said North Allegheny Superintendent Patricia P. Green.
