The team and Paly’s band participated in the May Fete Parade on Saturday, and for many of the participating students, it was their first time in the parade. “It was a super fun experience,” Daly said. “I really had a great time and it was kind of our last big event of the year. It was a nice way to end.” (Photo: Daniel Garepis-Holland)

The Palo Alto High School Concert Band practices on the track to prepare for the May Fete Children’s Parade & Fair. The parade will be held for the first time in three years after a hiatus due to the the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Recreation Supervisor Adam Howard, the parade taking place this year is an indication that the pandemic has started to recede and the city can return to planning larger events again. “It feels really good to get back to hosting the parade and other community events,” Howard stated in an email. “There is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm around this event and I’m really happy the community can come together again to celebrate.” (Photo: Arthur Wu)

Wearing special masks that allow them to play their instruments, Palo Alto High School jazz bands rehearse on the Performing Arts Center stage for their upcoming concert at 7 p.m. Thursday. According to Greene Middle School Band Director David Brigham, band students use special protective equipment to maintain COVID-19 safety while playing, which has created some challenges. “From a teaching standpoint, the masks hide the students’ embouchure so it is sometimes quite difficult to give meaningful feedback since I can’t see a very important aspect of their sound production,” Brigham said.
