MOUNT VERNON, Iowa — The Mount Vernon High School Marching Band is gearing up for an exciting trip to Orlando this Thanksgiving. They are set to perform in the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade at Magic Kingdom.

The band has been dedicating every morning to preparing for this significant event. They will depart for Florida on Monday afternoon.

During their stay, the band will visit parks and rehearse with four other bands, leading up to their parade performance on Thanksgiving Day.

Last week, the University of Illinois Director of Bands joined a rehearsal and will lead the mass band at Disney on Thanksgiving morning.
