🇺🇸 Urbana High School Marching Band is Heading to Washington, D.C.! 🎺✨

The UHS Marching Band has been officially selected to represent Ohio in the 2026 National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. — an incredible honor in our nation’s 250th anniversary year.

To help make this once-in-a-lifetime trip possible for every student, the Urbana Band Boosters have launched several fundraising opportunities, including the Legend of the Lights Christmas display, a baked potato bar on Nov. 28, and options to donate directly.
