ORLANDO, Fla. — Members of Hewitt-Trussville High School Marching Husky Band became stars of their own Disney show March 28 when they entertained resort guests at the Magic Kingdom.
The group traveled from Trussville to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to take part in the Disney Performing Arts Program.

The marching band, under the direction of Scott Waid, entertained hundreds of Magic Kingdom Park guests as they marched through Main Street, U.S.A. and around Cinderella Castle and into Frontierland before the “Main Street Electrical Parade.”
This was the group’s third visit to the resort with the Disney Performing Arts Program.
Vocal, instrumental and dance ensembles from all around the world apply to perform each year as a part of Disney Performing Arts at the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort. Once selected, they are given the opportunity to perform at the resort for an international audience of theme park guests. Millions of performers have graced the stages of the Disney Parks in the more than 25-year history of the program.
