Power

Lancaster is an approved site for power. The electrical outlet is located on the 50 yard line underneath the home stands. There will be an extension cord readily available for your convenience.

Instrument Repair

A representative from C.A. House Music will be on site in front of the warm up area for instrument repair.

First Aid

There will be medical personnel available near the stadium throughout the day.

Band Videos

Due to the high risk of potential copyright infringement, the Band of Gold Invitational will be unable to provide a director’s video at our contest. We will, however, provide a location in front of the press box for each bands’ designated videographer. Directors will receive one press box pass in their packet upon arrival.

Severe Weather Plan

In the event of severe weather, all bands will be assigned to rooms at Thomas Ewing Junior High School.
