The Cadets drum and bugle corps arrived at 11 p.m. Sunday night, debarking from three gigantic buses at Founders and Maglott Halls where they will reside as they rehearse for their performances from coast to coast this summer.
The Cadets, from Allentown, Pa., include 150 performing artists and have a support staff of about 30 people.
It will be music in the air in Ada with rehearsals starting at 9 a.m., seven days a week, until about 10 p.m. each night.
Hardin Pioneer Aktion Club recently presented five $250 scholarships to five Hardin County students.
The Aktion Club started this scholarship five years ago to help youth further their education.
Applicants write an essay on how would they make a life better for a person who has disabilities. The scholarship committee reviewed all applicants and selected these winners.
This is the first year that the club has had five scholarships due to their successful fundraisers.
It looked like a circus arrived in town Sunday night with three busses and assorted trucks and trailers.
The Cadets drum and bugle corps are here for the second year to prepare their show for audiences across the U.S.
No, those debarking the buses are not refugees but are highly-selected performers carrying their personal belongings into ONU residence halls for their 17-day stay in Ada. (Monty Siekerman photo)
