Schedule:

Saturday, December 6th
4:00 PM – Meet at Band Hall
4:45 PM – Depart for parade assembly area
6:00 PM – Parade begins
7:30 PM – Pick up students at CSHS

What you need:
  • Woodwinds – blue jeans & a green shirt (minimal logos)
  • Brass – blue jeans & a red shirt  (minimal logos)
  • Percussion – blue jeans & a white shirt (minimal logos)
  • lyre and flip folder with Christmas Carols on Parade (This will be passed out during class, no other music is needed)
  • Students must be able to see the music while playing, with their instrument in the correct playing position (i.e. the lyre correctly attaches to the instrument and leaves the hands free to play).  This will be checked before we leave.
  • Students claiming that they do not need the music because they have the music memorized will be required to pass-off the music from memory for Mr. Brown or Mr. Williams.
  • Students should decorate themselves and/or their instruments with battery powered lights, garland, bows, ribbon, etc.  Decorations must NOT get in the way of correctly playing the instrument and must be safe.  It would also be a good idea to arrange lights in a way that will illuminate their music to make it easier to read since the parade takes place after dark.
  • This is a holiday parade.  Our colors will be red, white, and green – no blue or black.  Red or green Santa or elf hats are encouraged (pretty much all of the students wear one).  College Santa caps may be worn if the school’s colors are red and white like the University of Houston 🙂 or green and white like North Texas.  Reindeer antlers are also acceptable especially if they light up!

Please check the weather and wear any needed warm clothing underneath the above shirts.  The above colored shirts may be substituted with the same colored sweatshirt or hoodie.
