Friday, October 25, 2024 vs. Granite City

Keep your schedule flexible for the possibility of performing in the playoffs! These games will be on either Friday night or Saturday afternoon. We WILL perform in playoff games if at all possible. The only reasons that the band will not perform would be due to prior commitments inclucing IMEA Jazz Festival on Nov. 9 or IMEA Concert Festival on Nov. 23. Each of these events have already been scheduled.

8:15 PM - Approximate time for halftime - after halftime, the band will exit the field toward side 1 and continue to the band room for dismissal. Parents we will not be doing the spiral at this time so that we can quickly put things away and dismiss students back to the game (if they wish). Once we dismiss, students are free to go. See special instructions for Saturday games)

Times may adjust slightly as instructions may be given.

During the first half of the game we will SIT in the end zone bleachers in your section. You may not randomly get up and wander around. You must stay with the band and in your section. 

Uniform plans for each game will be different. 

September 6 - Dri Fit under your uniform for the game. We will wear full uniform if the weather is nice (and if they have come in). Otherwise, we will plan to have guard in full uniform and band in blue tops.  

September 21 - Summer uniform (bibbers and dri fit shirt) for pregame (depending on weather) - Performance shirts for half time - Again, this is all dependent upon weather. 

October 18 - Performance shirts for pregame (depending on weather... if it is still warm, we will wear summer uniform) - Performance shirts for half time
