The Sparkman High School Band Day will be this week at the James Clemons Game. We look forward to inviting the middle school 8th graders to our campus and have a day of marching band. The pre-game performance will start at 6:40pm. Don’t miss it!!!!
8th grade student Instructions
Middle school students will be delivered to the 9th grade school cafeteria. The MS students will practice basic marching skills and rehearse the music.
After school, the MS students will cross over to the stadium in a large group. The directors will help stop traffic on Ford Chapel Road so all students may cross over together. Once the MS students are in the stadium they will sit in the bleachers and enjoy a performance by the Sparkman High School Marching Senators.
After the performance all students will meet on the field and rehearse the pre-game performance. When the rehearsal is complete everyone will move to the SHS Cafeteria where they will enjoy pizza, supplied free of charge by the Sparkman Band Boosters.
Parking for the game is $5.00 and admission into the game is $7.00. Band students participating in the event are not required to pay admission to the game; however, parents and other guests will be required to pay to enter the event.
MS students should contact their MS directors for dismissal procedures throughout the evening.
High School Student Instructions
The band should wear their band shirts throughout the rehearsal time. We will not have a pep-rally this Friday and the High School will be on a regular bell schedule.
Competition Band
Competition Band will rehearse on the practice field as usual during 4th block before staging equipment at the stadium.
Marching Band ONLY Students
Marching Band students will report to the stadium with their instruments immediately after school. 9th Grade Band students will walk across the street together with Mr. Stout. The SHS band will then rehearse with the 8th grade for the pre-game performance.
