In April of 1979, the DCHS marching band took a trip to Washington, DC. They toured several Smithsonian museums, Arlington Cemetery, Lincoln and Washington Memorials, Mount Vernon and much more.
The band marched in the Cherry Blossom Festival parade, strutted their stuff in the field competition, and performed on the concert stage.
