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 with them if possible.
- Make sure your child has ALL their uniform pieces clean and ready to go (see below)!
- 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.
- 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 and $7 per person. They will usually have a program available for an extra $2 - $5.
- 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.
