When will the Mount Desert Island High School Band be performing in London, England?
The Mount Desert Island High School Band be performing in London, England on New Year’s Day 2011. The event is the 25th anniversary New Year’s Day Parade. There will be more than 10,000 performers in the parade, which will have a street audience of about 500,000, and it will be on TV around the world. Executive Director of the parade Bob Bone and Deputy Lieutenant of London Roger Bramble traveled to MDI to deliver the news. Bone says they were an easy choice. ” A very very good reputation for making very good music. We we’re attracted to them first of all because they have a good concert reputation.” He says they brought a lot to the parade two years ago, and he is sure they will add even more this time around. “Every American band adds a great deal to the parade. But I think it’s the first band from Maine that had ever marched in the parade so that was quite something for the audience.” Sources:
