PPP Marching Band Performs in the First Juneteenth African American Caribbean Heritage Festival Parade

 

The Pikes Peak Prep Marching Band led by Mr. Thomas Willmann, proudly marched in the first Juneteenth African American Caribbean Heritage Festival Parade down Ohio Avenue into John Metcalfe Memorial Park in Fountain, Colorado. Students held the Pikes Peak Prep banner while Principal, Dr. Arnold with all the Pikes Peak Prep supporters insured that the gleaming eye and jubilant personality of our mascot, the soaring eagle was on his job! Fountain, Colorado Mayor, Jerry Howell, read the emancipation proclamation as the Buffalo soldiers proceeded with the "raising of the flag ceremony". Endorsed by all the El Paso County Commissioners, June 16, 2011,

Colorado became the first state to host such an event.


What an historical event to be part of!
