"The Pride of Shaker Heights" will put on its final performance of the school year this Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, in the Memorial Day Parade. Times are slightly different from last year. The High School will be open at 8:00 to 8:25 AM for those who need to pick up instruments. Call time for all band members is 8:30 AM near the garage doors at City Hall. We will then line up, perform at the ceremony which now begins at 9:00 AM, and step off at 9:30 AM. The parade route is down Van Aken Blvd. to Farnsleigh and then ending at Thornton Park around 10:30 AM. The High School will be open following the parade until 11:00 AM.
Band members need to arrange transportation to City Hall and home from Thornton Park, including those with large instruments. There will be no equipment bus. Dress for the parade will be summer uniform (band polo, white pants (not khaki), black belt, all-black shoes, black socks). Be sure to try on those uniforms, it's been a while!
