Last year, Ellen told you about the Ballou Senior High School Marching Band from Washington, D.C. The band has been part of a struggling inner city school that had a 50% dropout rate. After appearing on the show, the band was invited to The White House for a screening of a documentary about their program.
They have now been invited to perform at The Rose Bowl, but need to raise funds to pay for the trip! Watch this video to see a brief history of the marching band and then click here to donate to help make their dream become a reality!

When It's On









What a wonderful story about the Ballou Marching Band. I am glad to help them go to the Rose Bowl. My son was in the marching band in high school the experience helped him become the fine young man he is today.
