Reminders –

2.   No nail polish, heavy perfume, lotion

3.   Only stud earrings. No other jewelry.

4.   Knee high black socks for band students (nothing written on them)

5.   You should arrive wearing your complete uniform.

6.   IMPORTANT – Please make sure to hem your band pants (using the snaps) before arriving on Saturday. You should snap all of the snaps as you fold it over. Please don’t just use one or two snaps and they will come undone.   Any damage to the pants (or any other uniform piece) is the responsibility of the families to replace.

7.   Clarinets – We will cut the finger tips off your gloves when we arrive to the parade. If they are already cut from previous years you are good.

8.   Picking up -  If you are picking up your child you must submit a release paper at least the day before. Do not ask the day of the parade or even worse at the end of the parade when we are trying to get everyone on the bus and back to school to take your child home without the paper. Bus forms are located at the bottom of this document and are available already printed outside my office. 

9.   Picking up part 2 – You must pick your child up immediately following our completion of the parade (not the end of the parade). We will wait 10 minutes for you to pick them up. At that point we will take them back to East Hills safely on this bus. It is not fair to hold up four buses of students and parents because someone thinks they are the exception to the guidelines.
