Scottsdale Boys Band heads to Nixon parade in D C
Seventy four Scottsdale student musicians will board an American Flyers plane before midnight Friday headed for Washington D C for Nixon inaugural parade. They will spend four days in the capital for practice sight seeing and the parade. The group is $5 000 short of its goal after originally seeking 25 000 then revised to 22 500 donations. They hope last minute gifts arrive while away and after return fund raising continues. Directors say two days are set for sightseeing with Monday the parade day and monuments on Sunday and Tuesday. Paul Crowder notes strong local donor response but Scottsdale businesses have many missing gifts. The band carries Scottsdale's name not Phoenix's.
