Memorial Day Parade

Good evening.  

Tomorrow will be one of the most important and meaningful performances of the entire year.

We have once again been invited to participate in Port Huron’s Memorial Day ceremony.

This performance is an important reminder to acknowledge those that have fallen in service of our country.  The Northern Marching Band students always do an excellent job representing our school and our community in a classy, respectful manner.

Just a couple of quick reminders:

Eat a substantial breakfast and drink non-caffeinated drinks before you arrive.

Wear black dress pants, black marching shoes, black socks and your band polo.

If you need your instrument, the school will be open from 9:30 - 9:45, otherwise, meet us at Quay Street at 10 AM.

The parade will begin at 11 AM.  The ceremony at Pine Grove Park will follow immediately afterwards and students will be released at approximately 12:15 PM.

All school instruments and other large equipment must be loaded onto the trailer afterwards.

In the event of inclement weather, please check the band website for updates.

Thank you.

OCN - Congrats and HELP!

This is a message from the Port Huron Northern Bands

Saturday, May 2

Congratulations to the Port Huron Northern Bands

all three concert bands earned straight first division ratings.

The Northern Bands are one of only a handful programs at any level in the state to have three or more bands or three or more orchestras earn straight first division ratings at State Band festival this spring.

We could really use your help this afternoon between 3 and 5 PM.  With just a dozen people we could get the school put back together in about an hour.  I hope you would consider chipping in.

Thank you to the families that have already stepped up to help!

Thanks, and again, congratulations.
