North Marion High School Marching Band to perform in Pearl Harbor Parade
FARMINGTON, (WBOY) — The North Marion High School Marching Band is set to perform in the Pearl Harbor Parade in December.
When the marching band was invited back in November of 2024, Band Director Matthew Morgan jumped at the opportunity for the students to learn about and honor American history, travel to Hawaii, and perform in front of a wide audience.

Once the school administration gave its approval, the marching band found out about their future performance at their Christmas concert a few months ago. Morgan remembers the shock and excitement from the band students when they were told about the performance.
To Morgan's knowledge the only other school from West Virginia who has gotten to perform in Hawaii is Morgantown High School. The marching band is looking to raise somewhere between $80,000-$120,000 for new uniforms and to pay for the trip.
