Memorial Day Parade & Picnic

We hope you can join us for the final band performance of the school year as our marching band performs in the Memorial Day parade in Howell.  Report time for students is 8:30 a.m. and the parade starts at 10 a.m. at the library.  The parade ends with a ceremony at Thompson Lake Cemetery.  Students will be bussed to the parade and back to the high school - allow some time for your student to turn in their marching band uniform after the parade.

We'll celebrate with a picnic after the Memorial Day parade and ceremony at Thompson Lake Cemetery. Parking passes will be available at uniform turn-in or you can print by clicking on the link below. This year we are at the Rotary Pavilion (on top of the hill) at Howell City Park on Thompson Street.  Please sign up if you can donate and/or volunteer at the picnic by clicking on the link below!

Unless you are donating water or a 22 lb. bag of ice, please bring your food, etc. to the picnic - do NOT leave at the high school! 

Also, please know the picnic is NOT a Howell school or Howell Band sponsored event - it is sponsored by the Band Boosters. Meaning, there are no official chaperones or school employees that are in charge of your students. If students choose to attend it is at your own risk. We love to see families from the marching band program at the picnic, so please join us!!
