of all the concert bands. Besides performing at all
home games and in two annual community parades, the band
has also performed in the Detroit Thanksgiving Parade,

difficult music to very high standards. They have performed by

Boston, and Washington, D.C., and at the Bands of America
National Concert Band Festival in Indianapolis (twice),
