The American Veterans Center and Music Celebrations International have invited the Nitschmann Middle School Marching Band under the direction of Mr. Daniel Zettlemoyer from Bethlehem to be a representative of Pennsylvania in the 2019 National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C.

This patriotic spectacle will take place on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, 2019. The parade will take place in the heart of the United States Capitol, making its way west down Constitution Avenue, and ending at the National Mall between the White House and the Washington Monument.
