USF Band is Great Britain Bound

It could be the biggest performance ever for USF's "Herd of Thunder," as the band has been invited to march in the New Year's Day Parade in London, England, on January 1, 2013.

This week's University Beat on WUSF 89.7 talks to band members and officials, as well as parade executives and the Former Lord Mayor of Westminster, England (the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill).

Band members have to pick up most, if not all of the $3,000 in airfare and hotel costs, but if you'd like to give them a hand, visit the Herd's webpage and click on the link at the bottom of the page.

Mark Schreiner is the assistant news director and intern coordinator for WUSF News.
