WAYNE, Ohio On this Memorial Day people far and wide gathered to remember our fallen service members, including a group of high schoolers who provided the soundtrack to a somber observation. This is probably one of the most important performances we do all year, said Megan Hayes, the band director at Elmwood High School.
Among the fallen at Graham Cemetery in the village of Wayne are the colors many of those buried here once wore proudly.
In their absence, a new generation provided the delicate undertone to honor them. To see our youth involved, practicing and rehearsing. it s undeniable, Wayne mayor Craig Everett said. You can t thank them enough.
