The weather forecast is predicting extreme heat on Monday for the parade. We are making a back-up plan just in case wearing full uniforms is not reasonable for the performance. Students should come prepared to wear full uniform for the parade but wear or bring black shorts and their band shirt which will be our summer uniform option. Tennis shoes will be worn with the summer uniform. (Make sure these are tennis shoes that tie, not skater shoes - same as for marching rehearsals!) Students should bring all uniform parts as we will be collecting uniforms after the parade regardless. (Including raincoats!)
We will be using music for the parade so all students are required to bring their lyre to the parade. Music for the parade is the Patriotic Parade Sequence and we will be playing Tribute to America at the ceremony. We will need parent volunteers to help with water at the ceremony and it would be great to have parents with water on the parade route as well! We are also looking for parent volunteers for uniform collection. Please make sure all students eat breakfast and drink water Monday morning before reporting to school!
The itinerary is posted on the website - be sure to check all the information there! Final playing tests begin Tuesday - are you ready?
Wind Ensemble will be performing at the Tri-City Memorial Day Ceremony Friday morning at 10:30 AM. Wind Ensemble members should dress up - no jeans, flip flops, cargo pants, or shorts. We will have lunch at school before returning to class -pizza will be provided - bring chips/cookies to share! (Also bring your own beverage.)
One final note - Disney Trip info will be coming home Monday/Tuesday next week! A $100 deposit will be due by June 7th - we're planning a great trip! Detailed information will come with the reservation forms next week.
