July 4 Parade

The Huntington Woods 4th of July Parade is the biggest audience the marching band will perform for all year; everyone not on an out-of-town vacation need to attend the parade.

New students will receive their member shirt at the rendezvous point at the beginning of the parade on the 4th of July. Please plan on wearing an undershirt so you can put on your BHS member shirt over it; there will not be a place for you to change in private.

***Returning members need to wear their shirt from last year.

***Shirts sizes for new members were ordered based on marching band registration form for new members.
