Make sure that you have tennis shoes for the days that we go outside. This is for everyone, even if you aren't marching in the parade.
You should have received an email about uploading your vaccination card and information that this past weekend. I have received some information that some of you have not and we are working on figuring that out. Please get that taken care of as soon as possible.
To be fully vaccinated by the trip the last date to start the vaccination process is tomorrow the 15th.
The final Rose Parade payment is due tomorrow (NOV. 15TH) by 11:59pm. We have a lot who are at jeopardy of losing their trip and forfeiting $1,500 to cancel their portion of the trip. Please get this settled with PAC ASAP.
November 20 Rose Rehearsal-Our instruments will be taken over on the truck, but you will be in charge of getting yourself to and from rehearsal.
We will start at the Milan football stadium and end at Milan Middle school. If you would like to park a few cars over at the Middle school before rehearsal and carpool to the stadium so that you do not have to walk the 2 miles back to the stadium that would be the best option.
Remember that these rehearsals are mandatory for you to be able to go on this trip. If you are not going to be there, I need to know WAY in advance, and it would have to be an excused absence by me.
Attached you will find the rehearsal schedule for Saturday's mass band rehearsal.
The next part of the guard routine is also included in this email.
