     The Waukegan High School Marching Band finished a great season by marching in the State Street Thanksgiving Day Parade.  This grand event was a fitting end to one of the most successful season in WHS Marching Band history.  The parade was broadcast live on Chicago's ABC 7 and seen by millions of viewers.  Thank you to all WHS Marching Band supporters for your help this season.  We are now in the process of fundraising for new marching drums.  Please call 847-360-5651 and talk to Mr. Maag if you would like to donate money or time to make this dream a reality.
