Chaminade Bands to March in the Mineola Memorial Day Parade

On Monday, May 30, 2011, more than 100 students from the Gold, Crimson, Flyers and Pep Bands will march as one unit, leading the Memorial Day Parade of Mineola. 

The parade kicks off at 11:00 a.m., and should arrive at the intersection of Roslyn and Jericho around 11:10.  Around 11:20 the parade will cross Mineola Blvd. and Jericho Turnpike.  Around 11:30, the parade will turn the corner of  Jericho and Marcellus.  All times are approximate.

In addition, members of the Bagpipe Band will be marching, separate from the combined bands

Parade route:  The parade starts at Wilson Park, which is at the east end of Mineola.  North on Union Street, turning left and heading west on Westbury Avenue.   A right turn heading north on Roslyn Road.  A  left turn onto Jericho Turnpike heading west.  A left by the AAC heading south on Marcellus Road.  

Many family members of the band students watch the parade along the one or two blocks EAST of the AAC, making pickup quite easy. 

Band students should report to Chaminade by 9:00 and will be done by 12:00. 

Please come to see the parade and honor the men and women who have served our country!
