Warrior Marching Band continues fundraising to travel to London

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook High School Marching Warriors (band) are making steady progress towards their history-making trip to London, England to perform by special invitation in the city's New Year's Day Parade on Jan. 1, 2016. Since receiving the prestigious invitation last September, the students have been busy trying to raise the necessary $3,200 cost per person.

For many of these students, this chance to travel abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will likely be a unique memory. The students hope to depart on Dec. 27. The week-long trip will be a chance for them to travel throughout the areas surrounding London and be featured in the parade which travels through the streets of Westminster, highlighting the end of their adventure.

As a community, there has been an outpouring of support to help the students achieve this goal. Not only is the high school being represented, but the entire town!

In showing their support, The Pala Band of Mission Indians, Pala Casino Spa and Resort have generously donated a brand new 2014 Harley Davidson motorcycle to the Fallbrook Band Booster organization to offer as an opportunity drawing prize!

Now reduced to only a $50 donation, tickets are available at Major Market, the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce, or by emailing [email protected]. Those who would like to make a donation, or participate in the opportunity drawing, may also visit Warriors2LondonParade.com.

The lucky prize winner will be announced at this year’s

Fallbrook Avocado Festival on Sunday, April 19, at the community stage.
