It's hard to believe it, but the first event of the marching band season, The Carnation Parade, is on Saturday, Aug. 15. On Tuesday, those students who have not been fitted for uniforms (mostly woodwinds) will be fitted during practice so everyone is ready to march in uniform.
Students, make sure you bring your water bottles on the day of the parade. We will have jugs of water to refill them if necessary. Snacks will be provided after the parade.
Band Parents, if you are interested in helping with getting the students ready, riding buses (we need at least two parents per bus), and/or walking with the students (we'll be pulling a wagon with water bottles as the students march), please call Arlene at (303) 946-4425 or email her at arlene.bloom@comcast.net.
We appreciate your help and support. We're looking forward to a great season!
