GILROY HOLDAY PARADE PERFORMANCE CANCELLED
Unfortunately, due to concerns regarding weather damage and student travel in inclement weather, both the CHS and GHS bands have made the decision to cancel their performance in the Gilroy Holiday Parade. As of 12/4 there is a 90% chance of heavy precipitation on Saturday 12/8. Heavy rain is extremely damaging to battery percussion and woodwind instruments. Additionally, a number of students from both schools will be in Fremont for SCCBDA Honor Band the afternoon of the parade and would need to travel back to Gilroy quickly for the parade, in heavy rain.
We are sad to miss the parade this year, but look forward to representing CHS and Gilroy next year, in the 2020 Holiday Parade!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHRISTOPHER MARCHING BAND!!!
