Game Day Procedures
- Students should wear their band shirts to school on Fridays and wear them under their uniform jackets at the game.
- Students should always wear their compression shorts, tall black socks, bibbers and gloves with their uniform.
- Students should arrive early enough to get dressed into uniform, acquire their equipment/instrument and be in their designated area by call time.
- Students should bring their own water jug to the game much like we do for after school rehearsals. Students will be allowed to march into the stadium with their water jug.
Equipment
- Percussion will stage equipment in the “Scene Shop”.
- After students get their instruments they should put their instrument cases back in their lockers.
- All Guard equipment and personal belongings will go in the guard room.
Parking
Band students and parents working in the concession stand will park in the top parking lot at S9. Parents that work in the concession stand should receive a parking pass from the boosters prior to Friday night.
Student drop-off will be at SHS from Ford Chapel Road. All other parents that would like to attend the game will be required to pay for parking and enter the parking lot from Jeff Road.
Seating
The band will move back in the stands this year. As in year’s past, our stadium can become extremely crowded due to the lack of space in the stadium. In an effort to give students more space in the bleachers we have established a new seating arrangement.(see map below) The band will still sit on the north end of the bleachers but now parents are encouraged to sit in the new bleachers on the far north end of the stadium.
