Inauguration education: Frisco students march into inauguration history

Two Wakeland High School students were among the crowd of more than 1 million people who braved freezing temperatures to attend the inauguration of President Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Juniors Ben Hauser, 17, and Tanner Jones, 16, marched in the inauguration parade with the Cadets of Allentown, Pa., one of the oldest and most celebrated marching bands in the country. Both students returned to Frisco Wednesday exhausted and sick, but they said the experience was worth the trouble.

“It was indescribable at some points,” said Jones, who plays the baritone. “Whether it was that I couldn’t think through the bone chilling cold or it was amazing how many people we saw when we walked in, there were some moments where I just wanted to stand [and watch] instead of march through it.”
