Fantasy of Lights Parade - November 24, Friday - Looking ahead, since we will all be in a stupor from too much holiday food next week, here is some info for those new to the parade. Report time in the band room is 5:00 p.m. to get on uniforms, where you will take a bus to the beginning of the parade. The parade starts at 7 pm and the route is through Howell's Historic District. It begins in front of Citizens Insurance on Grand River at Byron Rd, and travels east for 10 blocks, ending at Elm Street. Last year, the parade attracted more than 30,000 people. Come on out and see the marching band in their last performance this year!

Don't forget those battery-powered Christmas lights that you may want to wear with your uniform, and tinsel or garland looks great too! I am sure I have some extra battery packs around. Contact me if you would like some.

Now, get out and see Guys and Dolls this weekend! I can't wait to see the play and hear the pit band - See you there!
