When the Lincoln East High School marching band is parading through the streets of London on Jan. 1, family and friends back home will be able to watch it live on 21 Educational Access (Time Warner Cable channel 21 in Lincoln).
The 23rd annual New Year’s Day Parade will be sent via satellite beginning at 6 a.m. The parade will be re-aired on Channel 21 numerous times in January.
East’s band directors are Lance D. Nielsen and Tom Thorpe.
Nielsen said 140 students will march in the parade, and 40 others will accompany the band on the weeklong trip.
“Marching in the New Year’s Day Parade is a great honor for our students,” Nielsen said. “We are excited to be representing not only Lincoln East High School, but being ambassadors of Nebraska in this prestigious event.”
The parade features more than 10,000 performers from around the world. The route includes such landmarks as the Parliament building, Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing Street and the National Gallery.
* Beginning Friday, KFOR 1240 AM will provide daily trip updates at about 7:45 a.m.
* Lincoln residents can follow the students’ experiences on the Lincoln East Band trip blog at http://eastmarchingband.blogspot.com/.
