Attending the 57th inaugural parade this afternoon? You'll see 60 groups -- at least one from every state, selected from more than 2,800 applicants -- riding floats, marching, dancing and playing instruments along the parade route. The Presidential Inaugural Committee has the full list, but here are some facts about a few of the groups selected:
• Punahou Band and JROTC, Punahou School, Honolulu, Hawaii: President Obama attended Punahou School from fifth grade through his senior year of high school, graduating in 1979.
• South Shore Drill Team, Chicago, Illinois: The group was founded in 1980 as a positive outlet for Chicago’s inner city youth and has grown from four members to 300 between the ages of 8 and 21. The group performed 125 times in 2012.
• The Mighty Sound of Maryland, College Park, Maryland: 2013 marks the University of Maryland band's fourth inauguration. Previously, the band performed at the inaugurals of Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
• Navajo Nation Band, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah: The Navajo Nation Band previously performed at the inaugurals of John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
