Dear Host Families and Friends of the
Green Band,
The next Green Band is coming from Nagoya,
Japan. The latest forecast is 125-130 high
school and college students coming to perform in
Pasadena at the Bandfest on December 30 and the
Rose Parade on January 1. They also, as is
tradition, will perform a Benefit Concert for a
worthy cause on January 2 at Kennedy High
School's Performing Arts Center. These
students will practice at the Anaheim Angels
Stadium parking lot on December 26-29 and
perform at Disneyland on December 29.
The group is called the Toho Marching
Band. The last time groups came from this
area was 2013-2014 and 2015-2016.
We are looking for exceptional host families
like yourselves to invite two or more students
into your home, to experience the American way
of life. You will be paid $25 per student
per night to compensate for expenses you may
incur.
I have attached the host family application,
flyer and host family schedule. If you can
host, please complete the host family
application and return it to me. Also,
please let me know how many benefit concert
tickets you will need. Those would be
given to you on December 30 when you pick up
your students at the La Quinta Inn & Suites
in La Palma.
Even if you cannot host, I would hope you could
forward this link https://kennedyband.org/Green_Band.html
to any family, friends, or co-workers you
believe would be a good host family.
I am happy to announce I will be flying into
Southern California and will be there when you
pick up your students on December 30 and through
the Benefit Concert on January 2. It has
been an honor for me to be involved with the
Green Band since 2007.
Yours Truly,
Henri Soucy
