•Georgetown’s Hardy Middle School Marching Band got its inaugural chance to shine and be heard toward the end of the shutdown-threatened National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, after a parade car had caught fire, and Bob Ryan, Fred Flintstone and Thomas Jefferson had moved by, waving along Constitution Avenue, April 9.
Considering the big boys, such as Ballou or Cardozo, it was a huge honor for the school’s marching band, organized only two years ago by director Joseph Chisholm.
