July 24th, 2009 6:00 PM Band Family Potluck Picnic
Hovander Park (red area, east end)
  • 7:00 PM Concert rehearsal following the potluck. This is a great time for family and marchers to visit and/or take children to the playground area. There is much to see and do at the park. Drive in by going straight rather than turning right toward the main part of the park. Watch for signage. This is a dirt road part of the way. We can park near where we will eat and rehearse, so hauling food and music equipment will be easier than some years.

  • Be lined up and ready to march, Kentucky Street between Assumption Catholic Church and Bellingham High School

  • 12:45PM - Line up (Alumni Band will be the last band in the parade)
  • The uniform remains an alumni red sweatshirt, black pants, white shoes, and white socks.
Once again the Alumni Band will be the last band in the parade. With that honor comes the opportunity to view the parade. Our drum major, Barry Buchanan, has arranged for us to spend our waiting time in the parking lot of Trinity Lutheran Church where we can watch the parade until it is time to line up.

Parking is available at Bellingham High School. You may want to walk north a couple of blocks to leave your sack lunch and a chair at Trinity, located at the corner of Dean & Texas Streets. Look for Amy's motorhome. Then return to the lineup site on Kentucky Street between Assumption Catholic Church and BHS.

The weather is expected to be warm, especially for wearing a sweatshirt. Be sure to keep hydrated.

10th-Year Anniversary of BHS Alumni Band
Do you remember marching down Cornwall Av- enue on May 23, 1998, playing “Swing March” to the cheers and clapping from the crowded sidewalk? Do you remember that first Christmas Concert at the Ferry Terminal on December 12, 1998?

A special celebration is planned for 2008 in honor of all who have helped make the BHS Alumni Band a blessing to the community. Please plan to join us all marching past Bellingham High School on May 24th. If you want a refresher course, plans are already being made; if you have no instrument, march anyway and fi ll in an otherwise empty spot. The fl oat is expected to have seating room for a few who want to be part of the excitement even though they no longer can walk the distance. Let us know so a place can be saved for you. Let's make this the biggest and best since 1998.
