STUDENT NEEDS – Even though we march in the morning, it can get very warm. Please make sure your student has plenty of water. Students may wear sun hats during the morning rehearsal, but hats will not be allowed during the parade. Students should wear sunscreen as they will be facing the sun while practicing and while they are marching in the parade.

Students will have a short break between rehearsal and lining up for the parade. Parent volunteers will bring breakfast snacks for the students - see sign up below.


CHECK-OUT - Students will need to check out with Scott Barkman/Mr. Jones after the parade. Students may be picked up at the end of the parade route (Calder Ave) or upon return to the band room. The band room will be available for students to return their instruments until Noon.
