Today I would like to honor the Fayette High School marching band from my district for being selected to march in Washington's upcoming Memorial Day Parade. The Marching Falcons found out in the fall that they had been selected to march in the parade, and their small community quickly rallied around them to raise the money they needed to go. Tomorrow they will board a bus, bright and early, to make the 14-hour drive here. The band's director, Alex Kirby, told me the group has put in many hours of practice. School has already let out for summer vacation, but the dedicated band members still show up for practice 5 days a week, even the seniors who have already graduated. I am so proud of this marching band and the dedication the students have shown in perfecting their music. I know that they will do a great job. Congratulations. ____________________
