Ohio State band in inaugural parade

By Stephanie Warsmith
Beacon Journal staff writer

WASHINGTON, D.C.: An Ohio State University graduate from Canal Fulton is among the OSU band members who will march in Tuesday's inaugural parade.

David Wellman, 23, graduated in December but received the opportunity to perform with the band one last time. He also marched with the band in the inaugural parade four years ago.

''I was truly honored the first time,'' said Wellman, who plays the fluegelhorn, which is a variation of the trumpet. ''To come back a second time, I'm even more honored.''

Wellman and several other band members took in some sights Monday, strolling along the National Mall to see the monuments, historic buildings and museums. In their scarlet-and-gray letterman jerseys, the band members stood out from the crowd.

''The first time, I do not think there was as much excitement — energy,'' he said, surveying the passing crowd. ''There are many more people.''

The band performed Sunday during the Ohio ball organized by the state Democratic party.

In the parade, the band will perform four pieces: Beautiful Ohio, two fight songs and I Want to Go Back to Ohio State.

Wellman, who is working as a paint engineer for Honda in East Liberty, called it a blessing to be part of the inaugural festivities.
