Alas! The LAST performance of the marching season! The Cary Christmas Parade is comparable to the Apex Parade in many ways: It is approximately the same length; the route takes the band through the heart of a charming downtown; and it is usually very well attended. The parade route begins on Chatham at Circle Drive; turns left onto Academy and ends at the corner of Academy and Kildaire (in front of Cary Elementary). Additional parade information can be found at www.caryjaycees.org.
Although we exchanged many words of thanks at the showcase and throughout the past few weeks, I want to again THANK all of you—students and family members–for being you, and for making our season such a wonderful success. Our months together were filled with many wonderful memories, great musical moments, and a whole lot of life lessons! I sincerely hope that our juniors, sophomores and freshmen will enthusiastically return next summer!
And don’t forget that most of us will be marching in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington D.C. this spring! It will be the first major trip that our program has taken since COVID and I hope you are excited about performing in our nation’s capital! You will begin receiving information after the new year!
Ya gotta luv it☺ -“Doc”
P.S. The Apex Parade was so LIT!!!! Thank you to Merri Beth Hibbets and all our wonderful parents for your help!!!
