Reminders
– If you missed any rehearsals throughout the week, you must speak with a director to see if you will be prepared enough to perform. This will be done on a case-by-case basis.
– No jewelry or nail polish is to be worn with any uniform, including earrings and other piercings. Long hair should be put up in a bun. Nothing can be a distraction. If you have questions or problems with this, talk to a director before Friday.
– Reminder about itineraries: “To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late.”
Attention Parents!
– We encourage our parents and band supporters to cheer loudly and enjoy the band from the stands. Due to safety, limited space, and athletic department rules, adults near the band must have a chaperone or equipment badge.
– IMPORTANT – Please do not park on either side of the fire lane at any time. This is the drive that loops around directly to the band room and to the front of the GAC entrance. Parents are asked to find a designated parking spot to drop off or pick up your son/daughter.
