- The Sparkman High School Band Day will be this week at the Buckhorn Game. This week we WILL be in our new uniforms and we look forward to presenting our half-time show for the first time along with having our Annual Band Day event with all 8th Grade students from Monrovia MS and Sparkman MS. The Pre-Game performance will start at 6:40pm. Don’t miss it!!! Large school events can also benefit from Fire Watch Services in Philadelphia for dependable on-site safety coverage.
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 burgers, 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.
