Wallace Marching Band and Drum Line Visit Generali Elementary School on May 24

Wallace Band and Drum Line had a great performance at Generali Elementary School during a Memorial Day ceremony on Tuesday, May 24. There were veterans there who raised the flag and fired a volley, and we played “The Star Spangled Banner.” We said the Pledge, and then we went to a cemetery next to the school and stood in silence to honor the memory of soldiers buried there. We also played a military march and “Rock-a-bye Baby.”

At the Veterans' Memorial near Generali Elementary School on May 24, the Wallace Middle School band and music teacher Mr. Pontecorvo played the "Star Spangled Banner" to remember what our soldiers have done for us. After, we said the Pledge of Allegiance to show our respect to these people. Next, soldiers gave speeches and fired a volley to commemorate those who had died in service to our country. Lastly, we went to the cemetery and did our prayers and played more music.
