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!
