The HHS Marching Band will be marching in the Memorial Day Parade. After the parade, anyone in the HHS Band Program (and their families) are welcome to the program's traditional Memorial Day Picnic at the Howell City Park. Parking Passes will be passed out before / after the parade.
Report Time: 8:30am at HHS
Parade Starts: 10am
Students need to show up in their khaki shorts, black queen shirt, black shoes and black socks (like the first football game's uniform), We will most likely use our uniforms (85% chance) but Smigell wants the option because he doesn't want to put our students in an unsafe situation in case the forecast is hotter than what it is currently being reported - since they will be outside for a few hours.
Students will be taking a bus to / from the parade.
Everyone needs to drink lots of water - make sure your pee is clear!
We are still in great need of things for the Memorial Day Picnic - the Sign Up is below.
Memorial Day Picnic's sign up link is here: SIGN UP LINK
