Parade update:

1. As of today, the Parade manager was trying to get us to leave Parker 15 minutes early, but in return for this they will allow the busses to stay at the parking lot so we can stay on them if the weather is wet until closer to parade time. Please arrive at Parker NO LATER THAN 4:45 in case this is happening!

2. We are traveling on two busses, not three, so we may need help getting instruments to town. Also, we will need help with uniforms.

2. As of next year ALL people walking the parade route will be required to have some type of light on them - so we are AHEAD of the game, and this year glow necklaces will be given to each band member and every parent walking with the band. Please don't bring your own lights , we are going for the "uniform" look !

3. UNIFORMS - MANY people have not paid for the cleaning of their uniform. We must have your $20 by December 1st! Coupon books will be available at the school before and after the parade.

4. Be advised, per the parade gurus, Grand River will close down early this year to accommodate the Budweiser Clydesdale's. Get to town early if you are coming to watch!

Happy Thanksgiving to all !
