What’s the football game routine?
· Dinner is provided by the boosters at 4:00pm for
away games.
· Students can stay in the band room after school
if they wish.
·
After games and competitions, students are
responsible for unloading their instrument from the trailers (if
applicable)
and neatly hanging their uniforms back on hangers in their garment bags. Parent volunteers check
uniform bags to make
sure all the pieces are present and that they are hung neatly.
·
After the game one section is responsible for
clean-up in the band room (sections are rotated and assigned by the
directors).
· Parents MUST pick their students up at Door
H. This is for their safety. The area between the gravel lot and back
door
to the band room becomes very congested when trailers and buses are being
unloaded.
