What else you May Be Getting Into
Potluck Dinner!
Bring the family for a potluck dinner on Tuesday after a rehearsal. Bring something delicious, or even an old HS Favorite. Time to recreate those A&W Pickle Fries.
1-on-1 Sectionals
Yea, no, I don't think we will be doing sectionals for this. This is really not a complicated gig!
Networking
You never know where people have gone, or what they have done. We may be rushing through this, but catching up will happen!
Exercise
The doctor says 20 mins a day. Let the Alumni Band help with some deep breathing and miles.
Going for the Win
Sorry, of course we are going to try and beat Ghostlight! They couldn't even put on skates and beat us in 2019!
Fund the Scholarship
Any extra we have left over after organizing this, or that we may collect on the parade route will be set to the PAHS Band Endowment Fund. If we do manage to take home one of the prizes, that is donated directly to the PAHS Band Boosters!

GOOD VIBES
Feel the spirit
This is a fun group, and a very very short parade. It’s an easy way to spend a bit of time before the fireworks, and after the rest of the downtown activities.
All of the organizers are busy, work fulltime, and have other gigs. We can use some additional help.
What we need:
Reaching out to alumni. Break out your address books, Facebook friends, mastodon herds etc. More that can join this in any capacity the more fun it can be!
Documentation:
Again, busy. Share any photos from 2019 or 2021, 2022 or 2023 so we can have a wider variety of faces to showcase! Photos videos etc. can be just file dropped to us here: PAHS Alumni Band Uploads
Someone that knows what we are missing:
