8TH GRADE BAND - MSU HOMECOMING PARADE
Our MSU Homecoming Parade Performance is coming up fast - NEXT SATURDAY!!!! Here is a detailed breakdown of our schedule:
- 7:15 am Arrive at Cherokee and meet in Band Room. (Percussion will begin loading on equipment busses). Students will arrive in full uniform (Maroon Polo, (black or white long sleeve under shirt as well), black band pants, black marching shoes, black socks and black belt. If the weather is cold, students will be allowed to wear gloves and a head covering. Having an insulated layer underneath will be a wise choice as well.
- 7:30 am Load busses and take roll.
- 7:40 am Depart Cherokee
- 8:00 am Arrive at Parade staging area just north of MSU campus. (Only school busses and equipment trucks allowed in this area - no spectator cars are allowed in this area.)
- 8:00 am Band students will unload busses, set up instruments and proceed to St. Louis Street staging area for stretches and warm-up.
- 9:00 am Parade Begins. Cherokee is the FIRST BAND in the parade order - behind the MSU Marching band. Parents are advised to watch the parade on John Q Hammons Parkway, between Elm Street and Bear Boulevard.
- 9:20 am We will be done with the parade and will proceed to our busses for loading.
- **** If parents are wanting to pick up their students at the parade, we would prefer that you check them out at the busses. The problem is, we never know exactly what parking lot our busses will end up in. Please contact Mr. Thomas as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made. Students will only be allowed to leave with parents if prior contact has been made. Students will still be responsible for their own instrument/equipment.
- 10:15 am Arrive back at Cherokee. Unload busses, and put up all equipment. Please have rides waiting.
Please see attached map for detailed parade route and parking information as well as the included parade order schedule.
