Key Things to know:
- Students rehearse right after school and do not have time to leave campus. They should have their regular rehearsal gear and filled water bottle with them to keep hydrated throughout the evening on long Friday game nights.
- Students should bring both rehearsal and performance clothes (either summer uniform or what they wear under their uniform) to school on Friday. Directors will communicate in advance what uniform students will wear at the game. This week they will be wearing the summer uniform.
- Students are not allowed to leave campus for dinner. The Band Boosters provide dinner for students on Friday nights between rehearsal and game time. You may bring dinner to your student at 5:00 pm if you wish. Each week the dinner plan will be shared in the Sunday Band Notes.
- The Band plays in front of the Atrium before they enter the stands. If you want to see that, stay outside the football stadium at the entrance and then enter after they play the fight song,
- Parents not working to support the band at the game, have to purchase tickets to enter Atrium Stadium. Please see above for information on how to purchase tickets.
- Students will stay with the band through halftime performance and then have third quarter off to visit friends, family and the concession stand! Students need to bring money if they want anything at the concession stand. Student cannot leave the stadium area during third quarter and must remain near the band stands. They will be bringing their personal water bottles up with them for the game.
- Students will return to the End Zone for the 4th quarter.
- Parents pick-up students at the High School after they have changed. Students will need time to put away all instruments and equipment and ensure their uniforms are properly put away.
