RHS Parade Flyer

The Roosevelt Neighborhood Parade is our annual parade each season and includes a stop at Bartell Drug Store for a short performance. Students arrive at school in the morning for an all band photograph before marching through the neighborhood. After the parade, students will gather in the Commons and surrounding courtyard for a potluck and drinks. Incoming band students are invited to march in the parade and eat with the band afterwards. 

Student report time is 10 am.  At 10:30 am we will take our traditional group photograph.  The parade will begin at 11 am. with Seattle Police escorting.  Motorists can expect a rolling slowdown as the parade makes its way along streets in the Roosevelt district. Participating students may earn 3 service hours.
