Coral Springs Holiday Parade!
On December 10th, the Eagle Regiment is excited to take part in the Coral Springs Holiday Parade! This yearly event is a fun tradition where everyone in the community comes together to celebrate the holiday spirit. Both the band and color guard will show off their skills and hard work as they parade through the streets of Coral Springs that night. This is the best time for all families to support and watch the amazing parade take place with lots of holiday spirit!
**PLEASE NOTE the rain date for the parade is Thursday December 11th. Only the Color Guard will march on the rain date since the band has their Holiday Concert

Important A Guard Update
We want to inform our Eagle Regiment families that the Stoneman Douglas JV Winter Guard will not be competing this winter season due to low student enrollment. While this is never an easy decision, we remain committed to providing the best possible experience for all of our students therefore the World Guard will continue as normal.
If any students who planned on participating in the JV team are still interested in marching this winter, we encourage you to see Mr. B right away to discuss other opportunities within the program.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our Color Guard program.
For specific times and details, please check the calendar at eagleregiment.com or reach out with any questions.
Member Paperwork Is Due
Winterguard participants were required to submit all paperwork to Mr. Broadbent by 12/5. The deadline has passed, so please turn in your forms as soon as possible.
Forms can be found here:https://www.stonemandouglasband.com/forms
FLOOR CREW
In order for our World and A to have seamless performances, we are looking for students who would like to earn service hours and support our winter guards. This would mean going with the teams to their competitions. You would help load/unload the truck, fix props as needed and would help set the floor and props. Floor crew is a big part of the winter season and would love if we could get more student volunteers! If you are interested, you can fill out this form: https://wkf.ms/485wSzp
