Jenks @ Union

ITINERARY

Jenks at Union Information. We will be performing pre-game. We will be using some of our props for this performance. This game begins at 7:00. Pre-game performance will be at approximately 6:35. Dinner will be provided before this game. Semi trucks may leave when we are finished loading and before buses are loaded to get a good parking place. Remember to bring everything with you Friday morning. You will not have a chance to go home after school. 

4:15 Uniform Check Out. Prep Time. Load Equipment Trucks.
Uniform checkout and the loading of equipment trucks will take place at the same time. Be careful in loading zones. School is getting out and the parking lot will be very busy. 

Students should be in maroon & grays for uniform checkout. We will not be using uniform racks for this game. We will be wearing marching band uniform - this includes the regulation black socks and shoes.

We will review procedures for loading and unloading the semi truck as time allows. Student leaders will need to help with this process and be the ones to actually load them in and out of the semi.

Semi will leave early/before all buses leave in order to be ready to unload when buses arrive, so make sure that all equipment is loaded early enough in the process after school. 

4:45 Load Buses. Everything should be loaded and students in uniform. Dinner will be provided to students as they load the buses. Students should have: uniform, gloves, flip folder, instrument, and any other necessary equipment. Student leaders check to see that everyone has their flip folder for the game.

5:00 Departure for Union. Eat on bus - meal organized by band parents.

5:40 Estimated Arrival at Union. Unload and prepare for warm ups. 

6:10 Anticipated Warm Up. Warm ups will be in sectionals only. It will be a challenge getting warmed up, putting equipment in stands, and getting lined up for pre-game performance. We have done it before - we can accomplish it this year as well.

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 unloading of the equipment trucks (semi and box trucks) and school buses. 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. We want everyone to be safe during this time. See diagram below for visual reference.
