Hi, hey, hello!
2019-2020 Marching Eagles Informational Meeting It's here! This is THIS Monday at 6:30pm in the CM Auditorium. I don't expect it will be a long meeting, but important information is passed out at this meeting. The last thing I want is for anyone to be uninformed! I look forward to seeing you there! Memorial Day Parade More information will come out about this parade, but we do have a rehearsal on Friday, May 24 from 1pm-3pm. This parade tends to be a shock to us all - it's usually pretty warm and we haven't spent much time marching in the past few months. Please hydrate leading up to this rehearsal as well as the parade. The parade itself steps off at 10:15am on Monday, May 27: plan on meeting at CM to grab instruments at 9am. We will bus over to the start of the parade, which is at The Bank of Edwardsville, parade down to the Memorial Gardens, where there will be a ceremony. I'm not sure if they are wanting us to stay for the ceremony this year, but buses will pick us up at the Memorial Gardens regardless. Dress is marching shoes, black pants, current band polo. Please remember to keep up on our important dates!
