    Worthington, Ohio. Performance with the All-American Alumni Band. I will be performing a concert as part of the Worthington, Ohio Summer Concerts on the Green with the All-American Alumni Band, made up of former members of the McDonald's All-American High School Band. The McDonald's All-American High School Band -which chose two high school students from each state to march in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California -ran from 1967 to 1992. I was a member of the Band in 1972-1973. The guest soloist for the concert will be jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon (who was in the McDonald's All-American Band in 1984-1985), and Wycliffe and I will play an unaccompanied duet after his solo set with the band. The band will be conducted by Russel C. Mikkelson, director of bands at Ohio State University. The band will also appear in the 2022 Worthington (Ohio) Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 30.
