A marching band at a historically black Mississippi university has raised more than $120,000 to fund its trip to Washington to participate in President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

The “Mean Green Marching Machine” band from Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) was invited to play in the 60th Presidential Inauguration Parade, according to a statement issued by the college in December.
