It is best that students be picked up from the school, and not at the end of the parade route due to logistics - unless the parent is at the end of the route.. I cannot let students go on their own to find their parents – however, if there is a parent that would be willing to wait with those students until their parent arrives, then I am fine with that.
Uniform
Students will be given a thicker glove to keep their hands warm for the performance as well as hand warmers if needed. Make sure that you layer underneath your uniform to keep warm, but remember that you will sweat even though it’s cold. You will only be able to have with you what you will be marching in the parade with. NO JEWELERY!! Please do not wear jeans underneath your uniform pants!!
Sincerely,
Mr. Miller
Director of Bands Warren Mott High School
