Nisei Week Foundation Marching Band 2012

Its been awhile since we posted something on our blog, but we have been really busy in putting together the 2nd outing for the Nisei Week Foundation Marching Band and Dance Troupe.

Thanks to All our Sponsors who have helped put this together. We cannot thank them enough For the following:
