Tennessee marching band will play at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration
Following the presidential inauguration for President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20, 2017, is the inaugural parade.
Of course, every parade needs a marching band, and this high-profile parade will feature the University of Tennessee marching band.
According to NewsChannel9.com, the band will perform after President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence are sworn in.
Tennessee senator Bob Corker tweeted his congratulations to the Tennessee marching band on Friday morning:
Congratulations to the @UTKnoxville Pride of the Southland Band for being selected to participate in the upcoming inaugural parade.

The report says that more than 8,000 participants will take part in the inaugural parade.
I wonder, did they ‘Volunteer’?
Yes. Not only did they Volunteer, They won a competition.
Wut?
Congratulations! Its a great honor that you will handle well.
I wonder what threats they’re making against students in the band to keep them in line.
Why would you wonder that. UT is not some whacko liberal organization. I doubt they need a safe place there.
It’s Tennessee not UC Santa Cruz. (I just made that college up idk if it’s real)
I’m so proud of our University of Tennessee Prise of the Southland Band. They are a lot of wonderful students
Me too!
So embarressing! I hope Corker made them go because they will humiliate the school, the state and themselves.
What are you talking about?
Most people’s opinion differs from yours. If I was a Tennessee fan or student I would be proud of the band.
Methinks Trump picked it because the power T logo fit his ego…
Or maybe not, but I think that’s funny and I wish the band the best of luck. He beats Hillary any day of the week!
He picked them for the Power T as well as the orange.
True.
The Pride of the Southland Band has played at 13 prior inaugurations.
Saddened by the thought of it, but I keep telling myself it’s for the office and not the candidate.
The article fails to mention, perhaps for obvious reasons, that the UT band has been doing this since the Kennedy inauguration. Not sure that this is necessarily controversial such that it requires a headline (other than ye olde click-throughs).
Wonderful! Congratulations!!!
Disgraceful is more like it.
Anybody who voted for the clown should be embarrassed to call themselves an American.
Anf I’m NOT a Hillary Clinton fan; just someone who loves his country enough to not want to see it disgraced by a worthless piece of $hit who shouldn’t be allowed to hold public office as s dog catcher.
Volman…i guess you didn’t vote. Otherwise your vote essentially got wasted voting for gary Johnson. I for one would rather have a candidate other than Trump as president, but he beats the alternative of a lying, manipulative, murderous, cold hearted, stone faced, demon spawn of a woman the democratic party nominated.
