SLHS Band Earns Spot in Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade!
The South Lakes HS "Spirit of Reston" Marching Band has been selected to represent the state of Virginia in the 2017 Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade. The band will travel to Honolulu, HI in December of 2017, where students will participate in the parade commemorating the 76th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and honoring veterans of World War II. The South Lakes Band is proud to join the ranks of the other exceptional marching bands from Virginia who have earned this honor.

Obviously, a trip of this nature requires a great deal of planning and preparation, and is also a costly endeavor.
The Pearl Harbor Parade Planning Committee has been convened to assist Mr. Fore in planning the trip and to raise funds to cover many group-wide costs of the trip and defray the individual cost to participants. We are currently looking for volunteers to serve on the committee. If you are the parent/guardian of a current or future SLHS band student and are interested in helping with the trip, please email PearlHarborParade@southlakesband.org. |
The cost of taking the band to the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade is significant - for the band as a group and for individual participants. While December, 2017 seems a long way off, trip-related expenses begin immediately, with final payments due several months before we travel.
Over the coming months, we are holding several fundraisers to help defray the cost of the trip. Whether you're an individual or a business, there are opportunities for you to help! Click to find out more! |
