Our nations capital got a little taste of Arkansas today. Two bands from the Natural State marched in Washington, D.C.s Fourth of July parade. FOX24"sKristen Powers reports there was a lot of excitement this morning as she caught up with the Springdale High school Bulldog Band.

It was a 22-hour drive but students said it was well worth it.

Im very excited that Im here in Washington, D.C. and I have to remember sometimes that Im here it seems kind of impossible because me personally Ive never traveled to a state outside of Arkansas," Senior Trumpet Player said.

Young musicians have been fundraising at local events for the past nine months so that they could be here today. The band says they are proud to be representing Arkansas and to share its talents with the rest of the country.

We are showing them we can do it to. And we are going it just as well as most others out there. At a very high level," Associate Band Director Gary Brown said.

"Usually during the parade in D.C. it is very hot and humid, so the band says since they have to wear all of this gear they are pretty glad it is a bit overcast and breezy," reporter Kristen Powers said.

I feel great, were having great weather, and its not supper hot like it is at home. I know the music so Im ready," recent graduateAaron Taylor said.

Not only has this week long trip been a musical experience but the band says they are excited about seeing the city and learning about our Nations history.

"Very little we havent seen. Walking over 11 miles yesterday but they stayed with it and loved it. It was a near experience that they will never forget," Brown said.

The band plans on finishing off their trip watching the fireworks together and are looking forward to coming home to Arkansas to share their experiences with others.

In Washington, D.C. Im Kristen Powers.
