Warren High School's band and color guard held a "march-a-thon" last Friday, marching seven miles through the streets of Downey as they played their instruments and raised money. Students asked for pledges of $1 for every mile they walked. Pledges came in from family, friends and community members. Band and color guard members stopped at several local businesses along the way, performing at Bob's Big Boy, Norms, Bastards, In-N-Out, Pieloon and other places. Students marched from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fundraising total wasn't immediately available but band leaders called the fundraiser "a great success." ********** Published: August 30, 2012 - Volume 11 - Issue 20
