The Reeltown Marching Band Rebel Pride has been invited to perform at the Make-A-Wish Global Conference in Orlando, Florida, hosted at Walt Disney World on Nov. 6. This honor recognizes the incredible story of Melody Jackson, a Reeltown student who made a lasting impact through her selfless wish.

While facing her own battle with cancer, Jackson chose to use her Make-A-Wish opportunity to provide new uniforms for the Reeltown Marching Band. Earlier this year, her generosity was celebrated at the Make-A-Wish Gala in Birmingham, Alabama, where the band performed in her honor. That evening, $553,369 was raised to support Make-A-Wish and their vision to “create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.”
