Because the route for the parade of flags has lengthened the past few years groups may want to consider having more than one student commit to carry their flag. Students who would like to participate but have class may request an email from the ISSO confirming participation in the parade. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The deadline to register for the parade of flags is Wednesday, March 26 to ensure we will have your flag. The ISSO will provide all flags and students will meet at the ISSO in Halladay 104 by 10:45 to pick up their flag. The parade will begin at the Amphitheater and will conclude between 12:45-1pm in front of the Rayburn Student Center. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will also need volunteers to assist with drums and cymbals as well as handing out promotional flyers during the parade.
