“It is perfectly fitting that the Showtime Marching Band, the ensemble that captures and reverberates the heartbeat of our institution, should accompany her on this last leg of her journey to the White House,” Frederick said.
“It was that steady pulse of her Alma Mater’s legacy that propelled her forward, and it is that same rhythm that will carry her onward as she undoubtedly will become one of the most influential vice presidents in the history of our nation,” he added.
The school said in its announcement on Monday that its band will have its “drumline, the Flashy Flag Squad, and Ooh La La dancers in the inauguration parade, representing less than one-third of the band for safety precautions,” given the ongoing pandemic.

Senate Conundrum: He Said, She Said
He said: Hey pal, did you know that California Governor Gavin Newsom is contributing to diversity in the Senate. He appointed the state’s Secretary of state Alex Padilla to replace Kamala Harris Senate seat.
That marks the 1st Latino Senator from California! That brings the total to 5 Latino Senators. The country still has progress to be done for Black Senators. Amazingly we in our almost 240 years have had only 10 Black Senators. Nicole, what posture does that say for our country?
She said: Well Don, you know that California is on the leading edge of Progressive politics. Be grateful that we have a Democratic governor to appoint Kamala’s successor ; otherwise, the US Senate would already be lost to us despite the Georgia run-off election. You’re welcome, no applause necessary!
On Monday, California announced that the state is sending a Latino to the U.S. Senate for the first time. Governor Gavin Newsom has selected California s Secretary of State Alex Padilla, 47, to take over Vice President–elect Kamala Harris s Senate seat in Washington, D.C. The Mexican American will hold the seat and represent the state until 2022. Through his tenacity, integrity, smarts, and grit, California is gaining a tested fighter in their corner who will be a fierce ally in D.C., lifting up our state s values and making sure we secure the critical resources to emerge stronger from this pandemic, Newsom said in a statement. He will be a senator for all Californians.

This combination has helped feed a widespread belief that an increase in voter turnout would benefit Democrats. People ranging from Bernie Sanders to President Trump have made that claim. So have I: “The country’s real silent majority prefers Democrats,” I wrote in 2017.
