Jenks v Bixby @ TU

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 are unique to the particular venue are included. Some away games begin at 7:00pm - some games begin at 7:30pm.

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 rally and parades.

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.

Jenks vs. Bixby @ TU (September 11th) We will NOT be performing pre-game. This game begins at 7:00pm. A meal is provided before this game. Semi 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.
