To help with expenses, the band’s annual Fish Fry was held on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at Mire Elementary School where they sold over 1,600 fried fish dinners. The band would like to thank everyone who continues to support the band. Profits from the fish fry will help with costs to perform at Epcot at Disney on Monday, April 20, 2015.
The band is slated to step off at the “United Kingdom” pavilion and march through the “Future World” in Epcot. To be included are 40 instrumentalists, one drum major, and eight flag unit members under the direction of Michael K. Magee.
The trip is the band’s fourth performing trip and third time to perform at Disney. The trip (April 19-23), will also include several Crowley High Band members invited to perform with the band.
During their performance, the band will perform music to show off Louisiana’s Mardi Gras traditions. Banner carriers and flag unit members will wear Mardi Gras-inspired uniforms and perform with Mardi Gras inspired umbrellas and flags.
