This is the Annual Children’s Healthcare Parade at the Cumming Fairgrounds. We do this as a service to the community.
Members will need to get their own ride to the Cumming Fairgrounds.
We’ll report to the Cumming Fairgrounds at the Arena at 5:30 to get ready. We’ll drive the small trailer (Nemo) for equipment. All small instruments will need to bring their own. The parade starts at 6pm and is usually done by 6:30pm. Once Students are dismissed, they’ll need to get their own ride home.
Wear your Member Shirt, Dark Shorts or Pants, and Athletic Shoes.
We’re asking that all marching band members attend.
If you can’t attend, no excuse needed (no need to email me if your member is missing the parade). My email is overflowing :)
