Band Boycotts Lodi Parade Over Entrance Fee
LODI (CBS13) - The Parade of Lights in Lodi will be one band short this year.
Tokay High School won't march in the Thursday event after organizers raised the participation fee up to $100.
Tokay High Band Director Dan Talbert says it's not just about money, but the principle. He says he's never been asked to pay a fee to participate in a parade.
Downtown Lodi's business partnership says they lowered the participation fee for the schools to $60 but Tokay High's band still decided not to participate.
