The All-Star Marching Band will be performing again this year. I will be taking sign-ups very soon. Take a look at the info and let me know if you have any questions!
The Jefferson County Public Schools All-Star Marching Band is the band of the Pegasus Parade in Louisville, Kentucky. This highly televised parade is shown all over the state, and is an excellent representation of “our music programs.”
