Final Performances for Trimester 1, 2022

Green Bay Holiday Parade, Saturday, November 19. all morning (specific times will be announced when the schedule is announced from Downtown Green Bay)

Schedule for the morning of the parade:

· 9:15am - Arrive early to change into uniform = black marching shoes, black socks, white gloves, full marching uniform and santa hat (remember to wear appropriate amounts of clothing under uniform to stay warm). Santa hats available in band room if you don’t have your own. Hats must be red and white or red and black.

· 9:45 – at school to load bus. Door 8. You will get instrument, etc., out of band room. We will not take cases, only instruments.

· 10:00 – bus leaves school.

· 10:05 – bus unloads downtown.

· 10:00 – parade begins

· 10:30 – estimated time that East group will begin marching [we are unit #46]

· 10:50 – estimated time that East group will return to school

· Make sure to eat breakfast. It is not a long parade but will still require a fair amount of energy (especially in cold weather).

· Dress appropriate for weather.

If you are watching the parade in person, we will be marching during the first half of the parade. Catch us on Jefferson Street!

From GBAPS District Offices:

After much discussion, the decision is to continue with our participation in the Holiday Parade tomorrow morning. The event organizer, Jeff Tilkens, will make the following accommodations for our students: the Band Directors will let the bus drivers know when they feel it is safe to leave the school to arrive at the staging area before their time to march. When the bus is on site, the staging area coordinator will let the Band Directors know 10-15 minutes prior to their time slot so the students can line up in the shortest amount of time outside. Finally, the bands will only march in 1/3 of the parade route and exit at Pine St. where the buses will be located to pick up the bands to bring back to their schools. (Jeff Tilkens will work with the Green Bay Police to move/park the buses on Pine St.)

Please send reminders to your families that the students should wear appropriate clothing for tomorrow's weather and that this event is voluntary with no grades attached to it so if they choose not to have their child participate in this event due to the concerns of the weather/temperature, they may opt their child out of the event.

Please send an email to kliken@gbaps.org before 9am Saturday if you are opting out!

Uniform Dry Cleaning Fee Due

Reminder that there is an $8 cleaning fee for band uniforms. Please bring $8 to the band room before the end of the school year.

Uniform Fittings

All band students will be fitted for uniforms. These uniforms are only worn for special performances (Homecoming, Marching Showcase, Holiday Parade, Concerts). Seniors are fitted first.

Everyone gets the chance for fittings during Marching Band Camp. We will start before each camp night and run through the rehearsal. It is easiest, and quickest, if you wear shorts or leggings and a t-shirt or tank top to camp. You can try the pants on over shorts or leggings, and the jacket over a t-shirt or tank. Please wear or bring socks, too. We have marching shoes to fit also. If you can't make it to camp, we will continue fitting during the East Registration times on Aug. 24 and 26.

Week of Aug. 9: Seniors are getting fitted for uniforms and drumline has concluded six nights of rehearsals and drum assignments.

Parents of Freshmen, please read the "pep band" page on times and procedures.
