The Pella Marching Dutch are raising support for a special performance.
Director of the Marching Dutch Dameon Place says the band community is seeking monetary donations to help offset costs for the 210 members of the group traveling to the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California on Monday, January 2nd, 2023.
Place says earning a bid to the Rose Parade is the pinnacle of achievement for high school marching bands around the world, and he’s hopeful to generate support from within the community and outside of Pella to make it possible.
On Saturday, April 9th, the Pella Marching Dutch will be hosting a telethon fundraiser to collect monetary donations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The KNIA/KRLS Big Red Radio will be at the event at the east entrance of Pella High School to feature members of the band, local fundraising committee, and music instructors.
