Starlight Parade Prep

Marching Shoes
It is required that every student have a pair of shoes that are entirely black.

No other colors can be on the shoe at all, including the trim, laces, soles, etc.

I would recommend a comfortable pair of shoes.  I know we found nice Nike shoes that were completely black when we shopped for our kids.  I do feel that shopping locally is the best plan, because the shoes can be tried on for fit.

There is also a marching shoe that you can purchase through THIS WEBSITE. (You will want to choose STYLE 407 BLACK)  

We do have some shoes in our inventory that are used, but still in decent shape to loan to students.  It would be best to have something in hand before Memorial Day weekend, if possible.

Required Marching Practices
These are the required after school marching practices:
5/22, 5/24, 5/31, 6/2 (ALL OF THESE FROM 3:45PM - 5:45PM)

State Band Championship Invite

The Cleveland HS Wind Symphony will be performing at the OSAA OREGON STATE BAND CHAMPIONSHIPS at the Stewart LaSells Auditorium on the Oregon State Campus on Saturday, May 13th. Our band is scheduled to perform at 3:45PM. OSAA does require a ticket, and those can be purchased at this OSAA Ticketing Page

Here is rest of the SPECTATOR INFORMATION.

Concert & Symphonic Band fittings

We need volunteers to help make sure all of our musicians are prepared for the Starlight Parade.  No sewing experience necessary, a lead volunteer will guide the process each day.
