CARPINTERIA INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE, JUNE 28

A message from Elise Unruh, CHS band director:



We do appear to have enough interest to make a showing at the parade this year, especially if we get some additional alumni besides the Class of 2008. I haven’t heard back from Mr. Nevens yet, so if YOU know some alumni (parents, friends and/or siblings), please bring them along! It will be really good PR for us to show up, so if you said you’d do the parade, PLEASE try to follow through. Here’s the plan:

· Rehearsal at the high school at 2:30 PM on Saturday June 28, the same day as the parade. We will learn a very easy patriotic march on the spot and figure out a parade formation and routine.

· After an hour or so of practice, head down to Linden for the start of the parade. Share rides, get parents to help drive, walk --- whatever works for you.

· I’ll bring my wagon to transport instruments. If you or your parents drive a big vehicle and can also help, great!

· Wear band shirts, alumni shirts, or red, white and blue shirts. Jeans or shorts on the bottom are fine.

· Parade line-up is at 4 PM; parade starts at 5 PM.

· If you originally said you were available for this parade and your plans have changed so that you WON’T be there, please contact me ASAP (see contact info at bottom of page).

CONTACTING ME
  • The BEST way to contact me over the summer is by email . I read those every morning. Please use that address instead of the cusd.net one.
  • You can also call CHS and leave a voice mail message: 684-4107 x249. If you happen to have my cell phone number, don’t use it because I don’t keep it turned on and I won’t get your message for weeks!

If I don’t see you at any of our summer activities, have a great summer.

Ms. Unruh
