JACKSONVILLE, Alabama (WVTM) — Jacksonville State University’s Marching Southerners have been invited to perform in France.
According to a news release, JSU’s band was asked to perform at ceremonies to observe the 80th anniversary of D-Day, which happens in 2024 in Normandy, France.
JSU reported the band will perform along with groups in two memorial ceremonies on June 6 and June 7.
The band will also take part in a parade on June 8, starting in Sainte-Mere-Eglise, the first village liberated by American troops.
