HIGHLIGHT: ALABAMA

Montgomery: It’s been nearly 20 years since the Robert E. Lee High School band has marched in new uniforms. Now, thanks to discretionary fund donations of $10,000 from county commissioners Isaiah Sankey and Ronda Walker, the band is about two-thirds of the way to raising the more than $30,000 needed to buy 50 uniforms, which cost $674 apiece. A car wash Saturday is among upcoming fundraisers that aim to help fill the gap.
