Darien Fest Performance 9/7/2018
All marching band members (grades 5th - 8th) will perform at the opening ceremonies of the 2018 Darien Fest! This is a wonderful community event and is a great opportunity for the EJH Bands to have an early year performance!
ITINERARY
5:15 p.m All marching band students arrive at Darien Community Park. Students can be dropped off at the Hinsdale South High School Parking lot and walk over to the park. When students get dropped off they should have their instrument already assembled and they should leave their instrument case in their vehicle. When students arrive to the park they should meet Mr. Tedeschi and the band near the stage which will be located near the corner of Plainfield Road and Clarendon Hills Road.
5:30 p.m EJH Band Begins warm-up
5:45 p.m Opening ceremonies of the Darien Fest begin with a performance by the EJH Marching Band. The Band will play Grand ol’ Flag and Y.M.C.A
6:10 p.m Opening ceremonies conclude and students are dismissed to their parents and guardians. Drumline and Sousaphone students need to put their instruments in their cases and back on the equipment van
Attire
Attire for this event for every member performing will be the red “One Band, One Sound” T-Shirt, Khaki shorts, and gym shoes. This will allow students to stay after their performance to enjoy the Darien Fest without having to go home and change, or change at the park.

Additional Information
- There is no bus for this event. Students will need to be dropped off and picked up by a parent/guardian, or carpool. The event is very short so I ask if you are bringing your child please stay to watch and enjoy the festivities!
- Students are welcome to stay and enjoy the Darien Fest once the opening ceremonies have concluded. However, I ask that students return to their cars and pack up their instruments in their cases so they do not get damaged!
- If you are staying after the performance to enjoy the Darien Fest, remember that you are representing Eisenhower Junior High and the EJH Band Program with your actions!
- Volunteers are need for this event! If you are available and interested please contact Melissa Jervas at [email protected]
