MONTROSE CHRISTMAS PARADE They looked sharp and were amazing as they took confident strides down Honolulu to an appreciative and enthusiastic audience. 
In all my over 14 years of participating / performing in the Montrose
Christmas Parade, this years performance by CV was by far the most
spirited, musical, and joyous experience. I was proud to march
down the street with Marching Band, Colorguard, and the Banner.
When people in the audience saw our new Banner coming down the street,
they started cheering in anticipation of our performance. I'd like to thanks the parents who helped shuttle students to and from the event as well as the parents who provided and set up the holiday snacks afterward. Mmmm Hot Chocolate, brownies and cookies (and donuts!) Happy Holidays! |
