Wilmer‐Hutchins High School Marching Band Invited to Perform at the Sugar Bowl

WorldStrides OnStage has invited the marching band from Wilmer-Hutchins High School to perform at the Sugar Bowl. They will join marching bands from across the country in the halftime show finale of this major college bowl game. An invitation to perform at the Sugar Bowl is an honor reserved only for the most talented student performers from across the nation.

Under the direction of Carlton Cooper, the Wilmer-Hutchins High School marching band will travel to New Orleans where they will rehearse with the mass band and learn from nationally acclaimed adjudicators. In their free time, they will take in the sights of New Orleans.

Carlton Cooper has been teaching for 17 years and will be personally leading the Wilmer-Hutchins High School group of 80 students to the Sugar Bowl.

The Wilmer-Hutchins High School Marching “Music Machine” Band has become one of Dallas’ premier show-style marching bands. The school, which re-opened in 2011, has regained status as one of the most recognized bands in the state. The students are from the inner city or rural areas, which creates an exciting blend of city and country life. The opportunity to attend the Allstate Sugar Bowl will give these students an experience of travel they will remember for a lifetime.
