The St. Augustine High School marching band is home from France.

Band members arrived on Monday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, where they were greeted by their relatives.

During the week-long trip, the "Marching 100" participated in ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It was the band's first overseas trip.

The National WWII Museum and other donors picked up the $700,000 tab.
