Notes:
Students need to use the restrooms before we depart for the contest, as there may not be an opportunity to use the restroom until after our performance.
Dinner will be provided following the prelims portion of the contest. Students should pack a sack lunch or plan on eating concession food until then. They should also eat a good breakfast before arriving.
There will be souvenir shops at the competition. We all know our kids love tees and hoodies. Prices range from $22 – $45.
The band will be taking a professional panoramic photo. This and other photos will be available for purchase at the event as well as through the photographers website. There is a link on the events webpage.
As of today (Tuesday, October 2), the predicted high for Saturday is 84 with a low of 73. The forecast calls for a 40% chance of scattered rain. Students should plan accordingly.
Chaperones Travelling with the Band:
If you did not purchase band meals for the season you will be able to order from the restaurant at the location where the students are eating.
Parents and Friends:
Guests are encouraged to read the Spectator Guide.
Please come and support the band and encourage any other friends/family to come to the contest as it is always more enjoyable for the students to perform at a contest with a large cheering section made up of family and friends. Family and friends can show their support by cheering louder than any other band’s supporters. We should hear an especially loud cheer both when they announce our band at the beginning of our performance and at the conclusion of our performance. Applause is also needed after solos, section features, and big musical or visual moments. This is not like concert season. A lot of applause is highly encouraged.
