Be on the lookout for the band tomorrow morning! Here's some info from mckinneynews.net
THE McKinney High School Royal Pride Band will hit the streets and raise funds for the 2010-2011 year. The 8th Annual Royal Pride March-a-thon is Saturday August 14th. On tap this year are the retro tunes, “Give Me Some Lovin” and “Any Way You Want It”.
Students will be marching to raise funds for their individual accounts which pay band fees for the year and their out of state Spring Competition trip. While the final destination for the MHS Spring Competition trip isn't locked down, New York, Washington D. C. and San Francisco are the leading contenders. Students are out and about right now taking pledges. They will be working extremely hard to fill commitments in order to cover the costs for competing in one of these cities. Please consider supporting these students as they strive for excellence through competition.
The day starts @ 8:00 a.m. in the MHS parking lot and stops at Tom Thumb and Market Street for mini-concerts and review. Route details are as follows. After departing MHS The Royal Pride Band crosses under I-75 onto Valley Creek Trail and begins the trek uphill to Sunny Meadow, Kensington, Provine and Hardin Roads. They continue to White Wing, La Paloma, Creekridge, back to White Wing and then to Doe Run. The final lap of the route is Quail Hollow back to Hardin, across Eldorado to Tom Thumb on Eldorado Parkway.
Tom Thumb is the site of the band's first concert & flag review. It is also a most welcome place to refill with life sustaining water. The R.P.B. is again thankful for the generosity of Market Street in providing this year's lunch stop and final mini-concert performance opportunity between 12 – 1pm.
