- Students will be dismissed at the end of the parade at the corner of Honolulu and Verdugo Blvd. All instruments and uniforms should be returned to the band room on Monday, December 3rd.
- Students are encouraged to wear holiday hats instead of their shakos.
- Instrument decorating (lights, tinsel, holly, etc.) is fine as long as the instrument can still be played properly.
