Saturday: Band practice 1200 – 1500 at the Armouries. This will make up for the lack of a practice on Friday and allow extra practice for the parade.

We are also changing the arrival time to 5pm. NOTE: The intersection of Crown St and Union St will likely already be blocked off, so you will have to come off Rothesay Ave/City Rd.

Sunday: Biathlon team will now be having practice on Sunday evening from 1800-2100, along with Marksmanship and Flight Sim.
