Each section may pitch in to buy gifts.

If students don’t have time to buy gifts, Mrs. Dunklee is willing to buy for them.  Students should collect the money and put in an envelope in the band safe. Choose from the list of items from Target and Mrs. Dunklee will buy and wrap them.  Make sure put the name on the envelope.  She will bring the receipt from the purchase.

December 5 Holiday Parade and Party

This year there will be many different events within the band surrounding the holiday season.  This includes the League City Holiday in the Park Parade followed by our 1st Annual Charger Band Holiday Party.  Please read below for more details as to what is sure to be a blast for both students and parents.

Schedule:

Saturday, December 5th
4:00 PM – Meet at Band Hall
4:45 PM – Depart for parade assembly area
6:00 PM – Parade begins
7:30 PM – Holiday Party

Holiday Party:

All Current students as well as their parents and siblings are invited to attend and be a part of the festivities upon our return from the parade.  We are asking parents who will be attending to please bring a dessert (homemade desserts are preferred).  We will be providing finger foods from Chuy’s on a first come, first served basis.  All are welcome to eat; however, once the food is gone, it is gone.  Parents are also welcome bring food for a “pot luck” style dinner if there is a concern that we will run out of food.

The Holiday Party will include many different activities including an Ugly Sweater Contest, various section contests and a photo booth. Also, for the seniors, there will be a White Elephant gift exchange. If you are a senior, be sure to bring a gift for the exchange, the price limit will be $10 for the gifts.

Leading up to the Holiday Party, we will be having a band “Locker Decorating Contest.” Get out your battery-operated lights and other holiday decorations and decorate your lockers to get into the holiday spirit! Prizes for the best decorated locker will be awarded at the holiday party. All lockers need to be decorated by December 4th so they can be judged. Also, the decorations that are put up must be taken down before or on December 18.

Also, continuing with the tradition, we will be having a “Best Decorated Section” contest for the League City Holiday in the Park Parade. Get out your battery-operated lights, garland, stockings, etc. The prizes for the “Best Decorated Section” will be awarded at the Holiday Party.

We hope to see everyone participating in these activities and getting into the holiday spirit!

What you need for the parade:
  • Woodwinds – blue jeans & a green shirt* (minimal logos)
  • Brass – blue jeans & a red shirt*  (minimal logos)
  • Percussion – blue jeans & a white shirt* (minimal logos)
  • Lyre and flip folder with Christmas Carols on Parade (no other music is needed)
  • Students must be able to see the music while playing, with their instrument in the correct playing position (i.e. the lyre correctly attaches to the instrument and leaves the hands free to play).  This will be checked before we leave.
  • Students claiming that they do not need the music because they have the music memorized will be required to pass-off the music from memory for Mr. Brown or Mr. Williams.
  • Students should decorate themselves and/or their instruments with battery powered lights, garland, bows, wrapping paper, ribbon, etc.  Decorations must NOT get in the way of correctly playing the instrument and must be safe.  It would also be a good idea to arrange lights in a way that will illuminate their music to make it easier to read since the parade takes place after dark.
  • This is a holiday parade.  Our colors will be red, white, and green – no blue or black.  Red or green Santa or elf hats are encouraged (pretty much all of the students wear one).  College Santa caps may be worn if the school’s colors are red and white like the University of Houston :) or green and white like North Texas.  Reindeer antlers are also acceptable especially if they light up!
  • Per parade rules, students may not dress up in Santa costumes.

Please check the weather and wear any needed warm clothing underneath the above shirts.  The above colored shirts may be substituted with the same colored sweatshirt, sweater, hoodie, or jacket.
