Lincoln East High School's marching band has been invited to perform in the New Year's Day parade in London, England.
Band director Lance Nielsen says 140 students will march in the parade. Another 40 people will accompany them on the trip.
The 23rd annual parade through London begins at 6 AM CST January 1. The route begins at Parliament Square, home of Big Ben, and travels through Piccadilly Circus to Berkeley Street.
The parade will be broadcast live on Lincoln's public-access channel.
The band will leave Sunday and return home on January 3. While there, students will be able to tour the Royal Castle in Windsor and Stonehenge.
