[musictlk] Marching Band for Independence March

[David Andrews]

Good morning!

I'd like to share some information with you about an exciting 
opportunity at our upcoming March for Independence.

Zena Pearcy asked me to share this message with you.
Have a wonderful day!

We are seeking your assistance in reaching blind people who would be 
interested in playing instruments and marching in an NFB marching 
band during the NFB March for Independence. If you know someone who 
plays a brass, woodwind or percussion instrument, please pass this 
announcement along to them.  They need not have marched before, but 
marching experience would certainly be welcome and helpful. They can 
be young or old-as long as they feel they can play their instrument 
and march the 3.1 miles.

We will register as a group within the march and seek pledges as a 
group. We are working on ways to provide instruments for the march if 
a marcher cannot bring his/her own instrument. There are many other 
logistical questions which a potential marcher may have. Please refer 
anyone who is interested to Wayne Pearcy. He can be reached at 
318-237-3028 or e-mailed at

We are very excited about the NFB Marching Band, but time is very 
short! Please help us get the word out as soon as you can. We have a 
handful of marchers already, but we are anxious to fill the band up. 
This will be great fun! It will be a confidence boost for the 
marching participants! It will help the public see blind people in a 
different light and therefore change what it means to be blind!

Thanks so much for your help.
