Parade Notes
Those who are marching, walking or riding* in the parade are asked to be at the Music Centre by 9:30 a.m. Participants are asked not to try and park at Music Centre, Arena or Library as those areas will be needed for parade prep. Parking should be available on the side streets around the area.

For those marching in the parade with another unit, there will be a Burlington Transit bus waiting for you at the end of the route to take you back to the beginning to do it all over again with the Alumni. Please make your way to the bus as soon as possible so you don't miss us.

The uniform will consist of the 75th Anniversary ball cap (assuming you registered in time), a navy blue top (including either the 75th or 70th reunion shirts) and whatever you'd like on the bottom.

The parade starts at Central Park; travels westbound along Caroline Street to Elizabeth Street; south on Elizabeth to James Street; westbound on James before turning north on Brant Street and ending at Central High School.

At the end of the parade, a bus will be available to take participants back to the Music Centre. However, if you do need a ride, please be sure to make your way to the bus ASAP as it will not be making multiple trips.

The current Teen Tour Band will be playing a standstill show downtown at 1 p.m. Alumni are invited to join with them to play Strike Up the Band and Prince of Thieves.

* Those riding on the trailer will board at the corner of New Street and Drury Lane, not at the Music Centre.
S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y Night
Saturday night's festivities will get underway at 7 p.m. and will feature a relaxed atmosphere. We'll be selling beer, wine, pop and water and will be providing snacks, but there will be no formal dinner. We have arranged for Red Door Cucina to bring their wood-fired pizza oven to sell Margarita, Calabrese (both vegetarian) and Pepperoni pizzas for $15 each.

The evening will also feature a viewing area where you can watch a slideshow of photos from the last 75 years and a chance to have some fun in the photobooth with you Band family and friends.

And if you're looking for a memento to either remember the 75th or to celebrate your time in the band, the Boosters will be on hand to sell Teen Tour merchandise, including a special 75th Anniversary T-shirt, and copies of the 60th Anniversary DVD put together by John Peachey in 2007.

As an extra special treat, the Boosters will be raffling off a beautiful quilt made and donated by alumna Nancy (Snowberger) Parnham (Flute, 1973-1979). Proceeds will be split between the Boosters and the Alumni.

While payments can be made via credit/debit card or cash, cash is preferred as we will only have one credit/debit machine for the entire event.

PLEASE NOTE: The last newsletter incorrectly stated that the current Teen Tour Band would be performing. That is not the case. Sorry for the error.
Concert Uniform
For those playing the Concert in the Park on Sunday night, the uniform will be the same as it is for the parade: Navy blue top, reunion hat and bottoms of your own choosing.
Share Your Photos and Videos with #BTTB75
If you're planning on posting photos or video of the 75th, please remember to use the hashtag #BTTB75. This will not only allow us to collect all your content for the Alumni's archives, but also to share it out over our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
COVID Precautions
As of June 15, there are no COVID regulations in place in Halton that require those attending the 75th to wear masks or to be physically distant from other individuals. However, we would ask that you respect those who may wish to wear masks or not get too close. We will be providing hand sanitizer at all events, but if you wish to wear a mask, you must bring your own.
