Dozens of students and sponsors left Kansas City Friday and were able to explore in Dublin before marching through the city in the parade.

“The feeling is crazy! I’ve never been out of the country before, and going with my friends is going to be an awesome experience” said one band member. “I’m really looking forward to marching there and doing what I love in front of a huge audience is amazing,” said another.

The St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Dublin is a five-day event with parades, street carnivals, Irish and international entertainment.
