PHILADELPHIA >> Among those ready to greet Pope Francis at the Philadelphia airport was the Bishop Shanahan High School marching band.
Band director Chuck Keating said the 84 members were notified last month they would be playing for the pope’s arrival. That’s when he decided to go quintessential Philly and play the “Rocky” theme.
“It’s exciting,” Keating said. “Just seeing the excitement in the kids’ eyes is awesome.”
