The University of Louisville marching band practiced Nov. 7 while the cameras for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” rolled. The show is in Louisville to film a segment on band member Patrick Henry Hughes and his family.
The Hughes family home will receive a makeover. Crews also will make improvements to the marching band’s practice field.
Hughes, who has been blind and physically challenged from birth, gained national attention a year ago as the 2006 recipient of Disney’s Wide World of Sports’ Disney Spirit Award. He also was featured on ESPN, ABC World News, Oprah, National Public Radio and in other media venues.
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is expected to be in Louisville for one week.
