Pensacola Christmas Parade, Saturday December 10th

• This is a mandatory performance for all marching band members

• Students will need to find their own transportation to and from downtown Pensacola

• Call time in the Blue Wahoos Stadium Parking lot is 3:30p

• Drivers are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to leave Pace no later than 2:45p - many roads downtown will be closed, and traffic will be an issue.

• We would suggest taking 110 South, and getting off at the Cervantes exit. Turn right on Cervantes Street. Your next turn is left onto A Street. Take A Street all the way to Main Street and turn left (this intersection is in front of Joe Pattis Seafood). Turn right into the Blue Wahoos Stadium parking lot.

• Students will be responsible for transporting their Instrument AND marching band shoes/gloves.

• Tubas, battery percussion, and patriot uniforms will be transported on the band trailer.

• Students will change into their patriot uniform as soon as they arrive in the parking lot.

• Students are encouraged to decorate their instrument with lights and to wear a “festive” Santa hat, antlers, etc.

• The parade steps off at 5:30p - we will most likely step off between 5:45-6:00p

• At the conclusion of the parade, we will walk to the parking lot to change out of uniforms - once changed, students will be dismissed. This will probably be around 7:30p.
