Fantasy of Lights Info and Meijer Flowerland Fundraiser Info

FoL Parade Practices Remaining:

Monday, November 23rd: 2:30pm - 3:30pm
Tuesday, November 24th: 2:30pm -  3:30pm

Fantasy of Lights Parade Info:

Fantasy of Lights Parade is Friday, November 27th at 7pm. Report time at the Howell High School is 5pm. Grand River is closed at 5pm - so you should be entering the M-59 way.

We are dressing up in our uniforms, packing the trailer and buses and leaving by 6pm. Please don't be late.

We are position number #12 in the parade.

Students are allowed to wear stuff under their uniform to keep warm, wear simple "beanie" hats under their marching band hats as long as they are black / dark grey / dark green, and gloves (some students put hand warmers inside their gloves to help keep warm).

Students are also allowed to wear battery operated lights on themselves and their instruments as long as it doesn't interfere with them playing their instrument / their instrument's sound. Please bring your instrument home if you are plan on decorating your instrument to save time. This is completely optional to the student.

Since last year was a great hit, we are now doing the tradition of "FoL After Parade Soup Potluck". Once the students return from the parade, they will get out of their uniforms and get warmed up with a variety of soups / chili and hot chocolate.

The Soup Potluck Sign Up link is here.

Meijer Flowerland Fundraiser Info:

It starts this Friday and lasts for two weeks. The order forms will be in the band room. The Meijer money certificates are $30 and the "Flower of the Month" Club cards are also $30.  Students will receive $4 for every card / certificate sold. The money is due Friday, December 4th and delivery is Monday, December 7th.
