The Pella High School Marching Dutch are headed to Washington, D.C. for the historic America 250 Parade, where they’ll debut brand-new uniforms funded by over $80,000 in community donations and perform three fresh patriotic songs. Over 200 students, staff, and chaperones are on a 20-hour bus ride to march on the National Mall, soak in the energy of the crowd, and visit iconic landmarks including Arlington Cemetery. This isn’t just a parade—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime cultural and educational adventure, with a livestream available for those who can’t make it in person.
