Jr. Blossomtime Parade - 7th & 8th Grade
We are participating in this year’s Jr. Blossomtime Parade. It will be on Thursday, May 4th at 5pm at St. Joseph High School’s football stadium.
The band members will report to the band room during their advisory period on Thursday. There, we will load our instruments on our band trailer and board our bus. Here’s where we need your help – We only have one bus available to us due to the choral state festival needs. So, we need a few parents with SUV’s to transport students. I have 3 volunteers so far, but will need more. Or, if you would rather, you can transport your student to the event and then cheer us on from the stands.
Once at St. Joseph HS, we will get out our instruments, warm-up and run through the piece a few times. I will set the students in a parade block and we will wait for the parade personnel to tell us where to go.
The parade begins at 5pm. It is a lap around the track (perfect for a first parade!) and then back out to the parking lot. Once finished, we will load our instruments in the trailer, board the bus and return to BSMS. Students will need to unload the trailer before they are released. You will be able to pick your child up from BSMS at 6:15pm.
Parade attire is: Black or white t-shirt, Berrien Springs Band jacket (provided), black pants, black socks, and a black pair of shoes they can march in. The shoes do not have to be fancy; they should not be dress shoes. Color Guard members will be provided with a shirt. They must provide their own black pants, black socks, and black shoes.
Grand Floral Blossomtime Parade - High School
Our High School Band is #93 in the Grand Floral Blossomtime Parade. The parade is on Saturday, May 6th. We will start in the City of Saint Joseph and end in the City of Benton Harbor. Students will be transported to and from the parade via district provided bus.
