The Wauwatosa East High School marching band makes its way across the pond in order to play London. The band was invited by the Queen to be the Honor Band for this year's New Year’s Day parade.
About 175 students, faculty and parents are flying in for the honor. At the parade, the band will play for 500,000 to one million people in person with millions more watching the parade from at home.
Besides the parade, the band will also play at a few more events around jolly ol’London.
Stay tuned to OMC for more information.
Originally from Des Plaines, Ill., Heather moved to Milwaukee to earn a B.A. in journalism from Marquette University. With a tongue-twisting last name like Leszczewicz, it's best to go into a career where people don't need to say your name often.
However, she's still sticking to some of her Illinoisan ways (she won't reform when it comes to things like pop, water fountain or ATM), though she's grown to enjoy her time in the Brew City.
Although her journalism career is still budding, Heather has had the chance for some once-in-a-lifetime interviews with celebrities like actor Vince Vaughn and actress Charlize Theron, director Cameron Crowe and singers Ben Kweller and Isaac Hanson of '90s brother boy band Hanson.
Heather's a self-proclaimed workaholic but loves her entertainment. She's a real television and movie fanatic, book nerd, music junkie, coffee addict and pop culture aficionado.
