Hey all!
This post has all the info you need for the Fantasy of Lights Parade.
The Marching Band still has two practices scheduled for it. They are:
Mon November 24th: @2:30pm - 3:30pm
Tues November 25th: @2:30pm - 3:30pm
The Marching Band will be outside practicing no matter what -- Please make sure they are prepared for whatever Michigan gives us for weather! Brass players - to prevent the moving parts of your instruments from freezing - make sure to use a 50 / 50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and valve oil. (It has been stated that you can find a $.99 small empty container in the travel sections of most drug / retail stores. You can use these to store the mixture for the practices / parade.) Smigell also has some to share if you don't want to make your own.
The Marching Band is allowed to decorate their instruments with garland, battery-operated lights, etc. if they want to. It is optional and up to the student if they want to. (Their instrument must still be able to be played ^.^ )
The Fantasy of Light Parade is on Friday November 28th. Report time for the Marching Band is at 5pm at the HS. Grand River is closing at 5pm - so use M59 if you are going to be slightly late. The parade itself starts at 7pm - and we are still waiting for our parade number.
The Marching Band will change into their uniforms and then load onto the buses to go to the parade. After the parade, the Marching Band will load back on the buses to ride back to the HS. After Marching Band gets out of their uniforms and the uniforms are handed in - they can start enjoying the Soup Potluck! <3
We still need a few more volunteers to make it happen. For info about what is needed for the FoL Soup Potluck, please click on the following link to view / sign up! FoL Potluck
Stay safe and warm for these holiday seasons! <3
