/
2020 Gold Pride Marching BAnd.
Cooler air has arrived, leaves are beginning to drop, and the boys of fall are once again bleeding and sweating on the gridiron.
The changing of the seasons also heralds the return of a beloved tradition that’s familiar to every small town in America - Homecoming.
The annual Charles Page High School Homecoming Parade will return to downtown Sand Springs on Thursday, September 28th at 6:00 p.m.

The parade will follow its traditional route from Charles Page High School westward on Park Avenue to the downtown Triangle before turning south on Main Street. It will then turn east on 2nd Street before returning to the school by way of Adams Road.
Intersections along the parade route will be closed shortly before the parade begins and will reopen as soon as it concludes.
The event will highlight the Charles Page High School fall sports teams as well as youth football, cheer, dance, choir, marching band, and other school programs. The public is also invited to attend and the parade frequently includes local businesses, political candidates, and community leaders.

The Homecoming Court will of course be crown jewel of the parade. The queen candidates and their escorts can typically be seen sitting atop sunroofs or waving from the finest of convertibles.
