Representing Parlier at a National Stage

A most deserving and prestigious invitation has graced the doorstep of our beloved band director, Mr. Theodore Tanaleon, belovedly known by his students as “Mr. T.” Parlier’s very own will be a part of The Macy’s Day Parade, a momentous and well broadcasted occasion that takes place once a year in New York. The Macy’s Day Parade community has extended its prestigious invitation to our very own instructor who will represent our high school as a part of the Saluting America’s Band Directors project. It is a privilege to be selected to be part of this grand procession, Mr. T will be joining the marching band of band directors from across the nation, a testament to the exceptional musical talents and efforts of our esteemed band teacher.

With great pride, Mr. Tanaleon will represent Parlier High School as he takes his rightful place among the most talented band instructors across the US, skillfully playing the trombone for the world to see. His musical talent will resonate with the hearts of spectators as he marches just behind the iconic Snoopy balloon. Look out for him and make some noise, even if you are at home screaming at your T.V. This is an event that Parlier must undoubtedly show up for. Tune in and cheer Mr. T on along with all the efforts he has put into Parlier’s music program.

Let us acknowledge the remarkable achievement that awaits Mr. Tanaleon, for it is a testament to his dedication and unwavering commitment to his craft. His tireless efforts have shaped the band program at Parlier High School for the better part of 5 years, instilling discipline and fostering a sense of what PHS stands for: Pride, Honor, and Success.

Mr. Tanaleon, we extend our deepest gratitude for the years of service you have dedicated to the musical community and our school. Your meticulous attention to detail has transformed Parlier’s Marching and Concert Band program into a beacon of excellence. The remarkable transformation can be witnessed through the discipline that the students exhume when they are on or off the field. This is a testament to your unwavering guidance and pride in your work.

As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming Macy’s Day Parade, we also eagerly await the future successes that lie ahead for both the Parlier High School band and the personal successes that you celebrate with us.
