HOMECOMING AND SENIOR NIGHT CELEBRATION

The band (minus the seniors) will be doing the Homecoming parade tomorrow.

Students need to be at the Food Lion parking lot at 4:55 with instruments, but no cases. Those students who need to go by the school to get large instruments should plan on doing so by 4:30. There will be a shuttle bus making trips from the school (probably the Senior lot) to Food Lion starting at 4:30. If you need to ride the shuttle plan on being at the school by 4:30. Students should wear Dinkles, jeans, and anything on top (sweatshirt, jacket, etc.) to keep warm. The parade starts at 5:15. Laura Duncan Road will be closed while the parade is going on.

The students will stay at school after the parade and dress for the football game around 6:00.

Reminder: The band will perform the whole show following the Homecoming ceremony during half-time. The band will then do our Senior recognition. After the game there will be a reception honoring our seniors in the gym lobby. All band students and families are invited to attend the reception.
