Before Columbus North High School band members prepared to head home to Columbus Saturday afternoon, they visited Arlington National Cemetery.
North drum majors Brittany Davis, Kathleen Haegele and Ciaran Hill represented the band in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at 11:15 a.m.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a monument in dedication to the services of an unknown soldier and to the common memories of all soldiers killed in any war. The memorial wreath carried a white ribbon with the words Columbus North High School Band.

The Sound of North completed a whirlwind trip of performing for the inauguration committee on Wednesday and in the inaugural parade for President Donald Trump and Vice President and Columbus native Mike Pence on Friday.
The band was scheduled to leave the Washington D.C. Area at about 3 p.m. Saturday and was to reach Columbus by about 2 a.m. today.
North Director of Bands Bill Stultz said Saturday the band has felt honored to represent Columbus and Indiana in the inaugural facilities and thanked the Columbus community for its support.
