Megan Hoch of Fleetwood to Travel to London with Mansfield University Bands

2012 Jul 18

Megan Hoch of Fleetwood, PA (19522) will be travelling with the Mansfield University bands to London, England, from August 2-9 to perform during the time of the Summer Olympic Games.

Students are making the trip after personally paying a little more than half of the cost, with the rest being raised through fund-raising efforts.

From the 140-member travel party, MU Bands will offer a marching unit, concert band, brass band, jazz combo and a Dixie-Land group.

In addition to performing in a variety of venues in London and Paris, France, the band hopes to visit Cambridge U.S. Military Cemetery to play and perform a wreath-laying ceremony.

"For most of the students this will be their first opportunity to travel abroad," Adam Brennan, director of Bands, said. "To do so during the Olympics makes this a particularly exciting and educational opportunity."
