This is a reminder for our upcoming performance on Memorial Day, Monday, 5/27/13.
All students are to arrive at High School West by 8:45AM and enter through the rear doors by the auditorium. Attendance will be taken and we will load equipment on the buses and depart for the St. James parade step off. St. James starts at 10:00AM. We will march north on Lake Ave from Woodlawn to St. James Elementary and then ride the buses to the Shopping Center with LA Fitness (Singer Lane) on Main Street in Smithtown. Students will have a brief break to buy lunch and then line up for the Smithtown parade. This parade starts at 12:00PM. We will march west on Main Street to Town Hall and be done between 12:30 and 12:45PM.
Students with large instruments or percussion are responsible for riding the bus back to the school to unload their equipment. All students may also return on the buses and be picked up from the high school. If a student is leaving from the end of the Smithtown parade their parent must be there to collect them on the north side of Main Street, west of Town Hall.
Parade attire is Smithtown Music shirt, tan/khaki shorts/pants and white sneakers (no flip flops). Students can also get a marching lyre to hold their music if they haven't already memorized their part.
This information has been explained to the students in class.
This is not an optional performance it is a community service provided by the Smithtown Central School District. Students may wish to wear sun block, sun glasses, and any make up or decorations that will not impede their ability to march and play their instruments and would be appropriate for the recognition of past and present military service persons.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Should there be a cancellation, the notice will be posted on this site.
