This is a LOT like the Christmas Parade, only we have to take a bus there. And we wear the shakos. And we don’t use Christmas decorations. But other than that, just like the Christmas parade!
We DO need chaperones for this event!
MONDAY, January 20:
7:45 am Band Room Open
8:30 am Load Truck & Bus
We will warm-up and run the sequence up at the parade site. We start at the North Greenwood Rec Center and march the route – it is new route this year! The bus and truck will meet us at the end of the parade route so we can reload and return. We’ll do our warm-up and run-through at the site, like we did for the Christmas Parade.
10:00 am Parade Steps off (or there about…they tend to be a little loose with the step off time at this event)
Since this is technically a MARCH rather than a PARADE…there won’t be a lot of people along the route. Most of them will be marching along with us (we generally are pretty much leading a whole big group of people). There will be SOME watchers along the way, but that’s not the main emphasis for this event.
We should be back at school and completely done by 12:00 noon.
Both IMAGE color guard and the Jazz Band will then have lunch followed by a rehearsal that afternoon.
