Parade Rehearsal Tomorrow (Tuesday)!
Any band student (middle or high school) and alumni member is welcome to march with us on Wednesday, July 4th. If you missed last week's rehearsal - don't worry! - you can still join us tomorrow. We will rehearse in the high school band room from 6:30pm-7:30pm.
We will perform "Grand Old Flag" this year. Music can be found here. Feel free to find and print your part. I will have small copies available at the rehearsals if you would like to use flip folios.
We have instruments and flags available to check out and use. Please email me at krosselit@homeoftheshamrocks.org if you need to borrow one.
Even if you haven't played an instrument or spun a flag in a long time, we would like you to be a part of our event. I am always happy to rewrite music to make it easier/more manageable for you.
Please consider joining us for this parade. We would love to see a large turnout of current and former students.
