A fundraising event featuring music by Skip Parson’s Riverboat Jazz Band and food will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday (3/24) at the Albany Ancient Order of Hibernians Hall, 375 Ontario St., Albany.

Proceeds will go to a campaign to help send the Albany Marching Falcons, the marching band of the Albany city school district, to Normandy, France, in June for a parade that will be part of the celebrations for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of northern France that marked the beginning of the end of World War II.

If all goes as planned, and if enough money gets raised through a bottle drive, GoFundMe page and benefit events including this one, the Falcons say they’ll be the only American high school marching band to take part.

Admission on Sunday is a suggested donation of $10 at the door. Food and raffle tickets will be available for purchase.
