The University of Utah marching band needs help paying for a trip to Washington, D.C., to perform in the presidential inauguration parade.
The U. band has received just over $85,000 in gifts and pledges — but it needs $65,000 more to get to the event, officials say.
Donations can be made online at www.utah.edu or by calling 800-716-0377.
