Test drive a Ford Wednesday at Council Rock North, and raise $20 for the marching band. They're fundraising for an upcoming trip.

NEWTOWN, PA — The Council Rock High School North marching band will be holding a "Drive 4 UR School" fundraiser Wednesday. If you test drive a new Ford that day from 4 to 7 p.m., Fred Beans will donate $20 to the marching band. The fundraiser is happening at the high school, located at 62 Swamp Road.

The funds are needed to support the band's upcoming trip to Hawaii in February.

During the trip, the band will perform at various sites and learn about the history of Oahu, including a President’s Day performance at Pearl Harbor.
