Fantasy of Lights Parade

Report time for the parade is at 5:30 pm at the Band Room (Bus will take us to and from the parade). Bring white marching gloves if you have them, as we have about 50 and need just a few more to make it work.

Be sure to dress warm and wear layers under your uniform. No jeans under your uniform please, long underwear or something of that nature would be better. See you all Friday, November 27!

Make sure your family and friends visit our Band Booster Booth in Christmas Alley. Boosters will be selling pretzel goodies from the Great American Pretzel Company for $4.00 a piece.
