Posted by Abigail Beal on 31 Oct 2007 in: Dinners, Events, Marching Band
The Bainbridge High School Band will appear at the 2008 ABC/BOSCOV’s Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. This is the third time the band has been selected for the parade. The 2008 year is the 89th year for the ABC/BOSCOV parade. It will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Bainbridge High School Band of Bainbridge, Georgia first joined the parade in 2000.
More than 200 band students will participate in the parade. The students have several fundraisers planned to help pay for their transportation and expenses.
Director of Bands Paschal Ward stated, “Both students and parents are excited about this wonderful opportunity.” “Students are given the option to go with the band or not to go. It is not a mandatory trip for anyone. It is a trip that will provide opportunities towards each student establishing a better work ethic as well as the historical and educational values included in this trip”.
The students are currently running a Smoked Chicken plate fundraiser from Monday, October 29th through Monday, November 5th. Tickets sell for $8.00 and include chicken, baked beans, potato salad, bread and cake.
