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.”
