Western Carolina University’s Pride of the Mountains Marching Band will perform in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ireland on March 17, 2024. After going through an application process, POTM was one of two U.S. bands selected to perform in the parade that has been held for more than 100 years. In addition to several performances on the itinerary, the band will also visit historic sites in Ireland.
The Pride is working to send the band to march in the 2024 Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland. Your support means that WCU students who aren’t able to afford international travel can participate in the Pride’s first international trip. Contributions to the Pride of the Mountains Marching Band help lower the trip’s cost and grant more students this incredible opportunity.
