THE PARADE ROUTE The annual Broad Ripple Magnet High School homecoming parade will pass through the Village on Friday, September 12. The parade will leave the high school from the south exit at 3 P.M. Students have made floats for classes and clubs, and the marching band will perform. The parade stops briefly in front of Sabbatical so that the band can play for the BRMHS faculty that packs the outdoor deck. The Rockets will play the Washington Continentals in the homecoming football game at 7 P.M. The BRHS Alumni Association welcomes all alumni to come to the parade and the game to celebrate BRHS.
