Homecoming week’s parade kick-off!
Every parade has to be led by a band, right? For last Saturday morning’s Homecoming Parade, Cactus Shadows Music Director Gary Wykoff’s “Falcon Pride Marching Band” did the honors. Before the musicians, 82-strong, stepped off, the Band’s talented twirlers were photographed by Sonoran News: (l-r) Elaina Groby (Soph), Songee Barker (SR), Hannah Morgan (Soph). Congratulations to CSHS Student Council’s faculty advisors Cameron Bender and Allison Zilka for orchestrating yet another spirit-filled event! And thanks to the Town of Cave Creek and MCSO officers who made the parade possible – and safe.
