The Marching Dutch will not perform in tonight's Parade of Lights in downtown Holland. Falling temperatures are making conditions unsafe for musicians to play their instruments outdoors.

It's one thing to be bundled up and watch this great parade from the streets in downtown Holland. It's another thing for our student musicians to hold and play metal instruments in these temperatures. We are so sad to miss the Parade of Lights this year and can't wait to march in the parade again next November! - Bethnay VanOss, Director of Bands

For the safety of students, other area schools' are pulling their bands from tonight's parade line-up as well. 

The Parade of Lights will begin at the corner of 8th and Columbia  at 6:30pm and head west down 8th Street until it reaches the Holland Civic Center.

• Holland’s Natalie Legg placed 13th overall in the 100 backstroke with a season best time of 1:00.16.
• The 200 freestyle relay team of Legg, Nora Frens, Thy Tran and Miriam Lopez-Koolhaas swam a season best time in prelims of 1:44.84.
• The Medley Relay team of Legg, Abby VanIngen, Tran, and Lopez-Koolhaas competed in preliminaries, but did not make it into the finals on Saturday.

“We had a great time at the state meet. We looked strong and we swam fast. It was hard work qualifying for the meet and we did our best!”   -Coach Tonya Book.

Congratulations!
