Band Schedule Parade Schedule and Information  Marshville Parade Saturday, November 22nd 11:30am – Report to PHS for practice. Eat BEFORE you come to practice. 12:45pm – Load Trailer, Get Dressed, Eat Snacks. 1:45pm – Leave for Marshville 3:00pm – Parade Starts 4:15pm – Arrive back at Piedmont SPECIAL NOTE We will leave all instruments loaded in the band trailer.  All students must take their hat, uniform, and shoes home with them.  We will NOT be meeting at school on Sunday before the Monroe Parade.  Students must come to Monroe already dressed in FULL UNIFORM.    Monroe Parade Sunday, November 23rd   12:00pm – meet at the field house in FULL UNIFORM next to Walter Bickett Stadium in downtown Monroe.  Look for the Piedmont Band Trailers.   Traffic will be very bad and roads will be closed quickly.  Please come fully dressed and ready to go.   The parade starts at 2:00pm.  Let’s hope that we are in the front half of the parade.  There are over 300 entries in the parade each year.  Where we are in the parade will determine how long it will take to dismiss everyone.   All parents planning to pick up their child after the band is finished must meet us back at the field house immediately following the end of our portion of the parade.  The easiest way to see the entire parade and still meet your child is to find a spot at the beginning of the parade route near the Food Lion on Sunset Blvd.    For safety and security reasons, under no circumstances is any band student permitted to leave the field house area to find their parent.  There will be thousands and thousands of people at this parade, and I do not want anything bad happening to any student.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.  My main priority is the safety of your child.   Directions to Walter Bickett Stadium (from Piedmont) Sikes Mill Rd. to Hwy 601 Left on 601 (cross over Hwy 74) Right on Church Street (firehouse and court house on left after you make the turn) Left on Charlotte Ave. Right on Lancaster Hwy.
