Competition Day:

  • Okay, these are really long days for the kids, so make sure they get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and send some healthy snacks that will not stain their uniforms.  Also they may want to have some cash on hand for concessions where available.
  • Make sure your child has ALL their uniform pieces clean and ready to go ... CLICK HERE for details.  Uniforms must be in Tip-Top shape.  We are judged on appearance.
  • Extra gloves can always be purchased in the uniform room for $3.00 per pair.
  • Make sure you look at the itineraries each week...Mr. Rogers does a great job of putting together a very detailed schedule for the day.
  • Make sure to think about the weather; it gets chilly in the evenings and kids will start to need to wear some kind of layering pieces, like Under Armor, to keep them warm.
Spectators:
  • You are not expected to go to the whole competition.
  • Arrive early...sometimes you have to park some distance from the field.
  • Pack for the weather...blankets, coats, etc. 
  • You will need to buy tickets at each location...generally between $5.00 and $10.00 per person. They will usually have a program available for an extra $2.00 - $5.00. 
  • Most locations will have concessions available, which benefit their boosters, so consider supporting them. 
  • You will notice that they usually will not allow people to enter / exit the stands during a performance. If you are approaching the field during a performance and notice a traffic jam of people, just be patient; as soon as the performance is over, they will open it up to enter / exit before the next band. It is a courtesy to the performers and their spectators. 
  • BE A GOOD SPORT! No matter what you see, please refrain from any negative comments in the stands; you never know whose grandma is sitting right behind you. We have always prided ourselves on giving EACH TEAM a standing ovation following their performance.  Every student works hard and deserves our support and respect!
