Chula Vista Parade
Formerly the Otay Ranch Band Review, this year it's been moved to the BayFront area of Chula Vista. The Bay Front Band Review will be held at the west end of H Street in Chula Vista. It starts at 10:00am. The awards will take place in the park connected to the J Street marina.
The competition parade band will be participating. All others will meet at OHS in the afternoon. The competition parade band consists of everyone in the Wind Ensemble class, and a few members of the Cadet Band and Percussion class. Students are added to the competition block through auditions. Students should know by now if they're in that block or not, but if uncertain should ask Mr. Mabrey.

Some Needs
- We do not have extra gloves
- It will be very cold at night. Students may want to wear a thermal shirt under their uniform for the night performance.
- Bring a warm jacket and/or blanket for the awards
- Stay together as a group
- Never say anything negative about another group. Remember, if you can't say anything nice ... you're not thinking about it the right way.
- Each student is responsible for their OWN uniform and equipment. Missing items will be the responsibility of the student to which they were assigned.
- If you will be leaving with your parents from the events, Mr. Mabrey MUST receive a written notice, AND the parent needs to see Mr. Mabrey or Mrs. Sholty when they take their child. This is to be sure the students remain safe and are not waiting alone somewhere for their family.
