The Greenforest Academy Marching Band will perform in the second annual Black History Month Parade in downtown Atlanta.
The 50-piece band will march in the noon-to-2 p.m. parade from Sweet Auburn Historic District to Underground Atlanta playing “We Shall Overcome,” “Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen.”
The parade, which celebrates the culture, heritage and accomplishments of African-Americans worldwide, features entertainers, dignitaries, civic and corporate groups, nonprofits, and artistic expressionists.
Rawn Hairston, the band’s director, says the band of fifth- to 12th-grade students has garnered superior and excellent ratings in the Georgia Music Educators Solo and Ensemble Festival over the past two years and has performed at the Governor’s Mansion.
