$1,000 to the East Lincoln Band Aides for the East Lincoln Senior High School Marching Mustang Band to travel to Hawaii as North Carolina representatives at the 65th commemoration of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

School Marching Band Performs at Pearl Harbor

Eighty-one members of Denver's East Lincoln High School band received a powerful history lesson when the group was invited to participate in ceremonies honoring the 65th Anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

In preparation for the journey, the band discovered transporting instruments to Hawaii would have been a costly endeavor. Instead a $1,000 grant from the Lincoln County Community Foundation to the East Lincoln Band-Aides enabled the musicians to rent instruments from a Honolulu high school.
