MARDI GRAS
Parade
Schedule
Mark your
calendars for
February
13th!
PARENTS... we are in need of
individually packaged
snacks
- cookies, chips, pretzels,
crackers...
Please send your donation to the band room this week.
We would like to be able to give each student a snack &
a bottle of water
at the end of each parade. We hand out
hard candy along the parade route -
each chaperone will
carry a bag with them. Chaperones will also have squirt
water bottles to keep our kids hydrated as we
march.
We suggest that you pack your child some type of food & drink
to have on the bus ride home. The kids are usually starving even after
eating a snack.
ALSO...
IN THE EVENT OF RAIN...
WE ARE ASKING EACH STUDENT TO SEND IN A CLEAR RAIN PONCHO. THESE
CAN BE PURCHASED AT THE DOLLAR STORE. THE PONCHOS FOR THE STUDENTS
WILL BE STORED IN THE TRUCK PULLING THE BAND TRAILER.
**************************************************************
Many
of you have signed up to help chaperone the upcoming parades - the
chaperone bus is full for Tucks.
If your plans have changed... and you are unable to chaperone... please
email me and let me know. I'm sure there are people that would grab up
YOUR spot on the bus.
Call times are ...
Tucks - Saturday February 13
8am for students
9am for chaperones
Estimated time of return is between 6pm. and 6:30 pm.
This info is subject to change. We will email you as soon as we find out
for sure if there is a change.
CHAPERONES -
* please sign in on the volunteer sheet
* we will have chaperone tags available
* bring your own flashlight
(Olympia)
* Wear your RED FHS SHIRT
& dress for the weather
* Don't forget YOUR rain poncho
* Don't forget HAND SANITIZER
* please bring an individual bag of
lifesavers to pass out to the kids during parade.
Parents, you are still welcome to chaperone the parades even if the bus
is full. You would just need to get yourself to the starting point and
make arrangements to be picked up at the end.
As always, thank you for your support for the FHS Crimson Band & Color
guard. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me back.
Thanks,
Donna and Mark Caffarel
