Greetings.  Our community really looks forward to seeing our great students perform and it’s a beautiful day for a parade.

Please dress in layers for the parade.  Guidelines for uniform and decorations are online.  

School will open at 4:30 and school will be closed at 4:45.

The Band Booster meeting is Tuesday, December 3.

The Sarnia parade is Saturday December 7.  Guidelines for getting across the border and performing are pretty straightforward.  Those guidelines have been made available to students in class and will be available online.

The Band Concert is December 10.  The guys should have brought home their tuxedos Monday and Tuesday this past week week.

The band banquet is December 12.  Tickets for the meal will only be available for purchase in advance.
