When Diego Fuentez first moved to Reno to attend the University of Nevada in 2017, he had never really heard of the Nevada Day Parade.
He had been living in Vegas prior to his move to the north, and was impressed by the university’s diverse opportunities in music.
He joined the marching band, and experienced the Nevada Day Parade firsthand without realizing the scope of the day.
“I thought, wow, this is extremely cool,” Fuentez said. “I was able to do it once, but it made a lasting impression.”
