PHS Band members in All State Band and Indy 500 Parade

PLYMOUTH - The Plymouth High School band was recently notified that six members of the Pride of Plymouth Marching Band were selected to march in the Indiana All-State Marching Band at the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade on Memorial Day.

Students from high school band programs throughout Indiana are selected for this event based on teacher recommendation and student applications.   Plymouth has one of the largest numbers of students involved in the band.   Students will spend Friday rehearsing on the Butler University campus and then perform in the Festival 500 Parade in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday morning. 

"This is very exciting to have this many kids from one school representing our community in the Indy 500 Parade," said band director Bryan Ames, "These are outstanding students in our program and I am very pleased to have them representing our school at this event."

The 500 Festival Parade is a televised parade and band members in the parade can be identified by their school uniforms.  Each participant in the parade wears their individual schools uniform for the parade.

Representing Plymouth H.S. will be: Elizabeth Wolford and Nicole Splix - Flute, Jack Garrison - Trombone, Rinda Scott, Jessica Celmer, Colleen Scarborough - Color Guard.
