COTA Concert / Dallas Christmas Parade

Good Afternoon,

 

Below is information about our annual Holiday Collaboration of the Arts concert and about our Dallas Christmas Parade.

 

1.      Our annual Holiday Collaboration of the Arts concert is next Thursday, December 12th, at 6:30 PM in the SPHS Theater.  Tickets are $8 and can be purchased starting TODAY on Hometown.  Here is the link: South Paulding Spartans - Ticket Spicket We recommend you purchase tickets early, because the event always sells out!  Buy your tickets early!  Students should be in the band room on the 12th, dressed and ready to perform, no later than 5:30 PM.  The Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band will all warm up in the Band Room together at 5:30 PM.  We will be wearing "Sunday Best" again for this performance.

 

2.      This weekend is the Dallas Christmas Parade.  Here are the logistics:

 

The parade is on December 7th.  Our students will meet that morning at the Paulding Senior Center at 9 AM.  The parade starts at 11:30 AM.  Students should be finished with the parade by 1:00 PM. 

 

For students who are driving themselves, they will be required to park at the Paulding Senior Center. 

 

The band will transport sousaphones, flags, percussion instruments, and marching band uniforms to the parade.  Students will wear their marching band uniforms and Santa hats.  Students are responsible for securing their own Santa hat.

 

We recommend you drop your students off with us at the Paulding Senior Center, park somewhere in Downtown Dallas, and watch the parade somewhere towards the end of the parade so when students are done they do not have to walk all the way back to the beginning of the parade.  



***We have had problems in the past with students forgetting to bring their marching band shoes.*** Please help your child remember shoes on the morning of the parade!

 

Here's the address for the Paulding Senior Center: 210 Paulding Ln, Dallas, GA 30132.

 

 

Thank you!
