Local High School's marching band joins the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington, DC.
A local high school band, The Sound of Horizon, will march in Washington, DC's National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to join 13 other high school bands selected to perform as part of this national springtime tradition.
Horizon High School's band performs at all varsity football games during the fall or at community, state and national performances throughout the school year. The Sound of Horizon traveled to Savannah and Atlanta, GA in the 2022-2023 school year for their first national appearance, performing in the 199th Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade.
However, this year, The Sound of Horizon will perform at The National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, which will be televised in Washington, DC, and nationally syndicated.
Grab a family member or a music lover near you and watch over the weekend as The Sound of Horizon performs!
Student opportunities continue to grow as the program soars, from 36 students on their first day together in 2021 to well over 220 students enrolled in classes today. The school is located in the Winter Garden area and can be seen with a closer view on the map below.

Strong thunderstorms are possible in west Orlando
Channel 9 is still tracking rain chances during the evening hours, mainly in the west of the Orlando metro area. A few strong thunderstorms are possible. The main impacts will be isolated flooding, wind gusts of 40 mph, and small hail in the strongest storms. Most of the heavy rain chances over the next few days will stay West of Orlando due to a southeast wind, which is in place due to high pressure centered in the Atlantic. This weekend, some Saharan dust may enter our area, limiting rain chances for central Florida. The tropics are quiet for now, and no development is expected for the next seven days.
