Last few Parades, Lagoon Day, Sub Zero fundraiser

Hello Summer Band!

Today is the fundraiser event at Sub Zero Ice Cream from 12-10pm.  Please tell your friends and family to participate.  They need a flyer, which you will find at this website under the Fundraising tab at the top of the page.  You can print as many you want from there.

We also have just a few more parades and events before we are done for the summer.  For all of these events, band students please wear your band shirts, tan shorts, black socks, and black tennis shoes or marching shoes.  Color Guard students please wear your band shirts, tan shorts, white socks, and white tennis shoes.  Parents who are attending please wear your Band Parent shirts.  And everyone come prepared for the heat.  Below is the info about each of the events.

Days of ’47 Youth Parade Sat July 20

We will be riding the bus to this event.  Call time is 7:30am at CHHS. Volunteers please meet at the school at that time as well.   Buses depart the school at 8:00am.  The parade starts at 9:30am.  Our band will be #2 in the lineup for this parade.  This is a televised event, so be sure to watch the parade on KUTV channel 2.  Or if you prefer to attend in person, here is a link to information about this event.  http://www.daysof47.com/events/youth-parade/

Parade Preview and Lagoon Day Mon July 22

This event is a little different than the others.  We march and play at the South Towne Expo Center for the Days of ’47 Float Preview.  The students march inside the building where the floats are on display and then play pep band music for a time too.  Call time is at 10:00am at CHHS.  Volunteers meet at the school at that time as well.  The bus will leave the school by 10:30am.  Our performance at the Expo Center is 11:30am.  The Days of 47 preview party is a fun event that is free admission.  It’s a nice way to see the floats for the parade without standing in the sun downtown.  Come join the fun!  For more information on the Float Preview Party, check out this website link:  http://www.daysof47.com/events/float-preview-party

Now for the info that I’m sure all the students have been waiting for - Lagoon Day!  Our band will go to Lagoon immediately following our performance at the Expo Center on Monday, July 22^nd.  The bus will leave from the South Towne Expo Center at 12:15pm and go directly to Lagoon.  If there are any students who cannot attend Lagoon, they will need to arrange rides home from the Expo Center.  We need parents willing to ride the buses as chaperones and go to Lagoon.   Admission for students will be discounted, but we are still waiting to get the discount tickets to know the price.  We will announce that as soon as we know.

Please bring a sack lunch, $ for admission, swimsuit and towel (if planning on doing the waterpark), etc. with you.  The bus will leave Lagoon at closing time 10pm.  Students can be picked up back at the school when the bus returns around 11:30pm.  Remember that Lagoon will not allow any purses or bags to be taken on rides, so you’ll need to rent a locker or keep things in pockets.  Be prepared for the heat and come have fun!

Bountiful Parade Tues July 23

Call time for our band will be at 4:15pm at CHHS.  We will be taking a bus to this event.  Volunteers please meet at the school at that time too.  Buses will depart the school at 4:45pm.  The parade begins at 6:00pm.  Our band will be #60 in this parade.

The bus will stop at a food court place on the way home for the kids to get dinner.  So each student should bring $ to pay for their own food.  The food court has standard fast food restaurants like Wendy’s or McDonald’s.
