What is happening in the music department?
Memorial Day Parade Next Monday!
All Concert and Symphonic Band students and Color Guard Members will march in the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 28. This includes all graduating 8th grade students.
All Symphonic Band, Concert Band and Guard students have begun preparing for the Memorial Day Parade which will take place on Monday, May 28, during morning band rehearsals. Students should come to band prepared to go outside. All wind students will need to have their lyre and flip folder ready. Students should wear closed toe shoes (no sandals or flip flops) for rehearsals. Students in Guard will also rehearse with us. It may be chilly in the morning; I suggest wearing a jacket.
This parade is mandatory and has been on the calendar since the beginning of the school year.
The itinerary is available on the department website here: https://www.mokenameteormusic159.org/uploads/2/3/4/4/23449316/memorial_day_parade.pdf
