Decorating Instruments/Equipment for upcoming Holiday Parades: It is a tradition of the Marching Pride to decorate their instruments and equipment for our upcoming Holiday Parades: Ave Maria, Naples Christmas Parade, and the Disney Parade. Students typically use lights, bows, and/or garland on their instruments. This week would be a great time to shop for these items, especially the lights as stores typically run out soon after Thanksgiving. Decorating instruments and equipment is completely optional, but we hope that everyone will consider participating. The Marching Pride also typically wears Santa hats/holiday head gear for these events. We have several Santa hats for students to borrow, but it’s strongly recommended that they wear their own hats if they own them. Students can ask their section leaders, captains, and/or drum majors for more details.
