Local high school band students lay wreath at national monument

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Band members from Jones High School laid a wreath at the Florida wall of the National World War II monument in Washington, D.C.

The Marching Tigers are in Washington, D.C., to perform in the 2016 Memorial Day Parade on Monday. The parade committee selected the group that said it was “impressed by the band’s background and credentials.”

In addition to the parade, the Jones Band also visited the White House, Jefferson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. memorials, the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, National Archives, the Smithsonian Institution’s Air & Space Museum, Arlington National Cemetery and the American History and Natural History Smithsonian Institution museums.
