Led by 21-year band director Dameon Place, the Pella Marching Dutch includes 225 talented high school students. When the Independence Day Parade was canceled due to extreme heat, the students adapted and delivered a special pop-up performance at Upper Senate Park, allowing visitors to experience the talented Iowa band. During their trip, the students also attended the National Symphony Orchestra's Fourth of July concert and fireworks, visited the nation's iconic monuments, and explored the Smithsonian museums. "Our community in Pella is incredibly supportive of its band program," said Congresswoman Miller-Meeks. "These students work hard, represent Iowa with pride, and demonstrate the positive impact school music programs have on our young people. Participation in the band gives students the opportunity to develop leadership, discipline, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence that will serve them well long after graduation." ###	1	2026-07-15T07:12:08Z	2026-07-15T07:13:45Z
