DIANA, TX (KLTV) - The New Diana High School Eagle Band was recently named as a participant in the upcoming National Independence Day Parade on July 4, 2011 in Washington D.C.  Only 14 high school bands from across the nation will march in this year’s parade and the Eagle band is the only band selected from the state of Texas.

“About one year ago I received a phone call from US Representative Louie Ghomert’s office saying that congressman Ghomert would like to nominate our band to represent his congressional district and the state of Texas in the National Independence Day Parade for 2011,” said New Diana Director of Bands George Little.  “After an involved application process, we received word in September that we had been officially accepted to participate in the parade,” he continued.
