Howard University’s marching band has taken part in presidential inaugurations before. But during today’s inaugural parade, they’ll be escorting one of their own.

The renowned Showtime Marching Band will accompany Vice President Kamala Harris -- an alumna of Howard University herself -- to the White House shortly after she takes her oath of office, along with President Joe Biden.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, less than a third of the full band will be in attendance."We are proud to unite safely as a band to represent Howard University, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and all HBCUs across the country," Kelvin Washington, the Howard University band director, said in a statement."It's a very gracious opportunity for us, and we're very thankful for it.
