Collaboration Day (9/27): This Friday is collaboration day. The band will still have rehearsal from 8-10:30 that morning, followed by loading the semi truck from 10:45-11:30. Information about collaboration is available HERE.
General Information Regarding Away Football Games: Information regarding games will normally be posted on the website one to two weeks in advance. At the beginning of the year, many details are included as procedure and routines are being established and tweaked. As the season progresses, only specific details that unique to the particular venue are included. Some away games begin at 7:30pm - some games begin at 7:00pm. The game time and performance time will always be listed in the information.
For away games, most of the time the band room is unlocked after school and at least one director is present. Dinner is provided for most away games - it depends on the distance traveling and whether the majority of students will have the opportunity to go home before loading equipment and uniforms. It will be indicated on the itinerary whether dinner is provided for an away game or not. Students will usually put on uniforms for away games. (Uniform racks are normally utilized only for contest days). It is also wise to check the website one or two days before the actual event. Sometimes details change or a plan B is added because of unpredictable weather conditions. Remember that hats, gauntlets, and plumes will not be used at football games this year - only the teacher performance and parades.
Details for percussion (particularly front ensemble) and guard may vary or have different details from the general itinerary. Students in these sections should double check with instructors and/or student leaders for necessary information.
Students and parents may park in the music building parking and aquatic center parking lots, but no cars (students or parents) should be in the no parking/loading zones or red curbs located by the music building. These two areas need to be kept clear for loading and safety reasons. This is for both before departure AND arrival back home after the game. Please drive through parking lot areas slowly in an effort to avoid accidents and injuries.
