Mexico High School Band is Called the Mexico High School Marching Band this Year

The Mexico High School Band is marching to a new name this year.

Marci Minor, public information director for the district says changes were made following several Facebook petitions that were circulated in July.

Minor says the band is named the Mexico Marching Band this year, as the Mexico High School values the diversity of their student population and strives to create an environment where all students feel safe and valued.
