Pensacola Christmas Parade, Saturday December 10th

This is a mandatory performance for all marching band members
Students will need to find their own transportation to and from downtown Pensacola
Call time in the Blue Wahoos Stadium Parking lot is 3:30p
Drivers are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to leave Pace no later than 2:45p - many roads downtown will be closed, and traffic will be an issue.
We would suggest taking 110 South, and getting off at the Cervantes exit. Turn right on Cervantes Street. Your next turn is left onto A Street. Take A Street all the way to Main Street and turn left (this intersection is in front of Joe Pattis Seafood). Turn right into the Blue Wahoos Stadium parking lot.
Students will be responsible for transporting their Instrument AND marching band shoes/gloves.
Tubas, battery percussion, and patriot uniforms will be transported on the band trailer.
Students will change into their patriot uniform as soon as they arrive in the parking lot.
Students are encouraged to decorate their instrument with lights and to wear a “festive” Santa hat, antlers, etc.
The parade steps off at 5:30p - we will most likely step off between 5:45-6:00p
At the conclusion of the parade, we will walk to the parking lot to change out of uniforms - once changed, students will be dismissed. This will probably be around 7:30p.

Ordering Concert Black - NEW MEMBERS

11/17/2022

Each band student will need to have their own Concert Black attire before the Winter Concert (Monday, December 5th). Students will not be provided with this attire from the school.

NEW female members were sized in class for their Concert Black Dress and need to call
3rd Ave. Dance Supply at 850-995-2222 to pay for their dress.

NEW male members need to order their Concert Black Tuxedo online (unless you already own a tuxedo). Please see the ADDITIONAL EXPENSES page for information on how to order these items.

*There is about a 2 week SHIPPING estimate on all concert black attire, so this needs to be taken care of ASAP.

Veteran's Day Parade - Friday 11/11

11/10/2022

All marching band students will be performing in the annual Milton Veteran's Day Parade this upcoming Friday morning. This is a required performance.

All students will need to find their own transportation to Milton HS. Remember to take your MARCHING INSTRUMENT home after school on Thursday - the band room will NOT be open on Friday morning.

Students will need to arrive on campus wearing their band t-shirt, black socks, and band shoes. Everyone is responsible for transporting their own instrument EXCEPT for sousaphones and battery percussion. Please leave all instrument cases in your car - not in the parking lot.

CALL TIME IN THE SOUTH PARKING LOT AT MILTON IS NO LATER THAN 8:00am. Students will dress into their patriot uniform and will need to be ready to go by 8:20am.

The parade begins at Milton HS and ends in downtown Milton, by the Veteran's Memorial on the waterfront. Please plan accordingly since the parade ends in a different location than it starts.

At the conclusion of the parade, all band students will change out of their patriot uniform at the new location. Once the uniform is hung up, students are free to depart. Estimated time will be approximately 11:00am.

Please do not plan on returning to the Pace band room after the parade. The band room will be closed until Monday morning.
