Parades and other events

We 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 summer uniforms.  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 19

We will be riding the bus to this event.  Call time is 6:30am at CHHS. Volunteers please meet at the school at that time as well.  We need more volunteers for this parade.  The parade starts at 9:30am.  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 21

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 8:30am at CHHS.  Volunteers meet at the school at that time as well.  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 21.  The bus will leave from the South Towne Expo Center 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!  Lagoon’s website link: http://lagoonpark.com/
