Come march with us in the Holbrook Memorial Day Parade and get a chance to win FREE STUFF!
Every year we come out to honor our fallen soldiers and show our school spirit by marching in the Holbrook parade. And now we start a new tradition, with our one time a year, limited edition school T-shirts coming out at the same time of the year. Everyone who comes out to march with us gets a chance to win a 2017 Cutting Edge Kempo limited edition school T-shirt! This years design promises to be even hotter than last years so don’t miss out, as I only have one run of these shirts printed and then they are gone for good!
What will this years design be?
We will be meeting in front of the Dojo at 10:00 am on Monday May 29th, where we will walk down the road to the Holbrook Plaza around 10:30 am. From there the parade should commence approximately 11:00 am. We will march south along Main Street to the corner of Furrows Road, west on Furrows Road to Grundy Avenue, and then south on Grundy Avenue to the Holbrook Vietnam Monument on the corner of Grundy and Terry Road where there will be a brief remembrance ceremony. The parade of march is approximately 1.15 miles and takes approximately 25-30 minutes. The ceremony begins at approximately 11:30 a.m.
Wear your Cutting Edge Kempo T-Shirts to show everyone your school spirit!
We invite all moms, dads, brothers, sisters, cousins of our extended Cutting Edge Kempo Karate family to come and join in the festivities, and remember everyone who marches gets a chance at a new limited edition T-shirt!
See you at the parade!
*** Don’t forget, we will be closed for the Memorial Day weekend. There will be NO CLASSES on Saturday May 27th, Sunday May 28th, or Monday May 29th. We re-open for classes on the 30th. ***
All tournament competitors meet at the Dojo, and bring your medals and trophies, be in uniform and bring a camera and we will take an awesome group photo of all of our fantastic competitors together in one shot!
For everyone’s convenience please use a piece of masking tape and a marker and write your name in an inconspicuous area of your trophy (if it is not personalized already) so we may set the trophies up for the shot, and know who to give the trophies back to at the end of the photo shoot!
The photo shoot shouldn’t take any longer than a half an hour or so, please be punctual and I look forward to seeing you all there! Great job everyone!
Need one more class to get yourself ready for the tournament on Sunday?
This Saturday we will hold two extra classes for all those who need a little “brushing up”.
