Important: Anyone who plays a team sport or was involved in powderpuff may wear their jersey
for the parade over their band jacket. YOU ARE MARCHING WITH THE BAND, not riding the
floats with your team. We have so many people involved in many activities that if everyone rode
their floats we wouldn't have a band. This has always been, and will remain, our policy.

Parents and Students: Please remember that there are hundreds of students in Band, Cheer,
Football that work hard to make these events special. For each student there are many adults,
volunteers, and community members behind the scenes working hard for them. You may be
sitting next to one of them in the stands and not know it, so please be supportive and encouraging
to ALL.
