Kelloggsville — Senior Eman Marasigan said he was surprised when he learned that the Kelloggsville High School Rocket Marching Band had been selected to participate in the National Memorial Day Parade.
“My first thoughts were ‘Why us?’” said Eman, who will play the baritone euphonium during the parade. “There are so many other great schools all around us. We’ve got Jenison, Rockford, Otsego, but we got picked.”
Kelloggsville High School will join others from across the nation to participate in the National Memorial Day Parade. It will be livestreamed starting at 10 a.m. on the American Veterans Center’s website, YouTube and Facebook.
“It’s really obvious we’re excited, but I don’t think it’s set in yet that we were actually picked for this state to go; and funny enough, they actually picked us before a video of us was even submitted of us playing,” said senior Dalilah Henderson. “So they just picked us off our morale.”…
