Haste Teljfriii, Fridiy. Octotor City Spartans To Appear In Three Florida Events Scattered Wreckage After Plane Crash Nashua's award winning Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps has been invited to appear at three Florida events in December. Corps director Albert "Bardie" LaFlamme of Nashua has announced that the 110 member unit will accept the invitations and appear in the Junior Orange Bowl Parade in Coral Cables, will parade in Disney World and appear in concert at Sea World. This trip will actually be the first public appearance of the 1977 edition of the Class Spartans. The schedule calls for an eight-day trip by bus with the youngsters leaving from Spartan Hall on the morning after Christmas at 6 a.m., with an 8 p.m., arrival in Virginia, where they will have dinner and sleep.

An early breakfast on Dec. 27, with departure for Kissimee, set at 6 a.m., with arrival at 7 in the evening. The Spartans will leave Tuesday morning for Disney World at 9, with free time until 1 p.m., when they will form for the parade on Main Street, U.S.A., which will begin at 2, led by Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters. They will then remain at Disney World until p.m., before returning for dinner ai their motel. Wednesday, the 29th, will find another 6 a.m., departure for Coral Cables and appearance in the Junior Orange Bowl Parade at 12:30 p.m.

On Thursday, a tour of the everglades is planned, with a concert appearance at Florida's famous Sea World, at 11 a.m., Friday. A dinner and a New Year's Eve private party is planned for that night, with the corps leaving Jan. 1 for Virginia. An early departure from Virginia will bring the musical youth organization back home at approximately 8 p.m., on Sunday, Jan. 2.

The international fame of the Nashua Spartans, who will be beginning their 22nd year, since organization with this trip, was the basis of being extended the invitation to appear in Florida, and with the acquisition last year of three diesel coaches, the means of transportation was reached. The invitation brings an honor to New Hampshire and the North, and another feather in the hats of Spartan unit. However, officials said while recognizing the high honor to the state and the Northeast, the Spartans face a task of raising $20,000 to cover expenses. Already, several of the Spartan boys and girls have been conducting little fund-raising projects, such as car washes and food sales, but several projects by the entire corps will be undertaken. The first will be a benefit breakfast at the Elks home on the Daniel Webster Highway, South, on Sunday morning, Oct.

24, with ticket sales now under way. Tickets will be sold at the door that morning, and the public is invited. Members of the Elks Youth Committee will assist the Spartan youngsters in preparing and serving the breakfast. Dances, additional breakfasts, March-a-thpns, food sales, tag days and a drawing are other projects being planned. The Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps of Nashua is a non-profit, self- i i a organization, and is open to any interested boy or girl, between 15 and 20, with instruments, uniforms and equipment, as well as professional instruction provided free to all participating youths.
