The Coalition of Concerned Clergy generously donated $50,000 to support the Heritage High School marching band's trip to participate in the prestigious Rome New Year's Day Parade and Festival.

Rev. Dr. Tremayne Johnson, along with other members of the Coalition of Concerned Clergy, presented a ceremonial check to Heritage High School Band Director Jemere Brown (center in photo below) at the June 18 School Board meeting.

The Heritage band was invited to perform in the Rome Parade on January 1, 2025.

The event is integrated as an important part of the City of Rome's celebration of the New Year, according to organizers. It will be live-streamed worldwide.
