Notes for ARGUS parade


Band. Band, Band, Band, Band....Now read this!

Here are the words for tomorrow's Argus parade:

1. Yes, it will be cold. Dress in layers. The parade rolls....

2. Yes, there is a chance of rain. We have ponchos and umbrella bags.

3. I am watching the weather forecasts on several on several sources, and they all predict cool temps, breeziness, and a chance of precipitation for tomorrow.

4. The bandroom will open at 6:30 am. Of course, I'll let you in as soon as I am there.

5. YOU MUST EAT A FULL BREAKFAST before you arrive! Bacon, sausage, eggs, peanut butter, boudin, protein!!! Ye shall not march by pop tarts alone! Might be a good idea to bring a return bus ride snack.

6. Again, dress in layers, maybe even double socks.

7. Be on top of your individual performance game, so that you can contribute to the cause. Let's minimize the sick bay wagon to a MINIMUM!! Like "0" would be maximum. Everyone marches. Banner/percussionists, be prepared to rotate into the groove (we seriously need more cowbell!!). Let's all think alignment and distance...you'll see better tomorrow in the daylight. We'll have a chat about some other pointers in the morning. We have a good chance to earn some $$$ in the "Rhythm of the Route" band adjudication.

8. Pizza and drinks after we return to 19452.

9. Get some rest. See you all in the morning.
