Oak Park Marching Legion Shines at Mardi Gras and Visits Jackson State University

The Oak Park Marching Legion recently traveled to New Orleans for an exciting opportunity to perform at Mardi Gras, showcasing their talent on a grand stage. The trip also included an educational visit to Jackson State University, where students had the chance to learn from the world-renowned Sonic Boom of the South Marching Band.

During their visit to Jackson State, the students participated in a special workshop and received valuable insights from Dr. Little and members of the university’s prestigious band program. This experience not only broadened their musical knowledge but also gave them a glimpse into collegiate-level band performance.

Superintendent Angel Abdulahad praised the program’s leadership, saying, “Providing our students with experiences beyond the classroom is essential to their growth. The Oak Park Marching Legion continues to make us proud by representing our district with excellence.”

The trip was made possible through the dedication of Oak Park Schools’ administration, parents, and community supporters, whose commitment ensures that students receive enriching opportunities like this one.

Congratulations to the Oak Park Marching Legion on their outstanding performance and continued success!
