St. Patrick's Day Parade Booster Wagon! In a time honored tradition, the Tiger Pride Marching Band will march in the Holyoke St. Patrick's Day Parade on March 21. To show support for our wonderful students, SHMPA is coordinating a special horse-drawn booster wagon to follow the band in the parade.

Show your support as a sponsor of the

Music Booster Wagon:

Sponsors will have signage on the wagon for all to see! You'll not only show your support for these talented students, but you gain massive exposure to the

hundreds of thousands of parade-goers from around the Pioneer Valley who attend the parade and those watching television coverage from home! Call Elena Lamontagne at 896-6567 for sponsorship rates. Don't wait - space is limited!
