BOWIE, Md. — Bowie State University has canceled its homecoming parade that was planned for Saturday morning due to rain.
Silver Spring native Myles Frost, best know for his award-winning portrayal of pop icon Michael Jackson in "MJ the Musical" on Broadway, was set to serve as Grand Marshal of Bowie State University’s 2023 Homecoming Parade.

Festivities were supposed to start at 8 a.m. with marching bands, floats and community groups led by Frost as Grand Marshal.
The university said that the football game and other activities will continue as planned.
Frost, a Bowie State student, is an actor, writer and music producer, sings and dances and promotes positivity, telling people aspiring to work in the entertainment industry to follow their dreams and believe in themselves.
“Do not limit your future opportunities based on what you feel you are currently capable of,” said Frost. “Take the risk.”
