Veteran's Day Parade
The Norwich Purple Tornado Marching Band will participate in the Veteran's Day events hosted by the Norwich VFW Post. A parade and short ceremony will take place on Tuesday, November 11, 2008.
- Marching Band members will be participating! Vets: We will be having some new members... please be helpful to them!
- Woodwinds, Brass and Battery Percussion will perform. We will be performing 'America The Beautiful' as our parade piece. Please have this memorized.
- Colorguard and Pit do not need to march, however I do need volunteers for the front Honorguard.
- There will be two afterschool rehearsals: Thursday, November 6, 2008 from 3:15 - 5:30pm and Monday, November 10, 2008 from 3:15 - 5:30pm.
- Band students must arrive at 9:00am to change into uniforms, get rain jackets, and warm up. We will be heading to the parade setup site around 10:00am, with step off around 10:45am. A quick morning breakfast and lunch will be provided before and after. We should be done around 1:00pm.
There will also be rehearsals for the upcoming Santa Parade on Saturday November 29... stay tuned for more details.
Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks!
