Football Game – Albertville (Away)
Sep 14 @ 2:00 PM
Football Game - Albertville (Away)
his Friday, September 14th, we are traveling by bus to Albertville HS, loading and leaving during 4th block band class.  Here are a few notes for you to help remind your student and to know our schedule.  I will send a Remind text with ETA during our return drive home.  (If you are not signed up for those, text @buckho to 81010 and please use your actual name to register.)
*Students must be sure to have their clean marching shoes, long white socks, uniform shorts, band shirt, clean white performance gloves, polished (and appropriately working) instrument, and all accessories when they arrive at school Friday.  Again, students’ shoes must have their initials inside.
*Students need to bring money for dinner at Chik-Fil-A or Zaxby’s – buses designated with students so they know which one they’re going to.  OR, students can bring a “sack dinner”.
*Students NEED TO BRING their water coolers in case Albertville does not provide waters and are encouraged to bring a couple of snacks if they feel they will need one on the ride home after the game.  We will not rehearse Friday so their cooler will stay full but we will not stop on the way home.

2:00 – Loading trailer

2:45 – Loading buses
3:00 – Depart Buckhorn
4:15 – Arrive at Dinner in Guntersville (2 buses Chik-Fil-A, 1 bus Zaxby’s)

~11:00 – Depart Albertville
~Midnight – 1:00 AM – Arrive at Buckhorn
Unload trailer, take care of equipment/uniforms, etc and released after obligations met
*Finally, PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE BUCK CIRCLE OR ON THE ROAD LEADING UP TO THE CIRCLE Friday night when the band and football team are arriving back at Buckhorn.  It makes it very hard or impossible for the buses to get up to the school and it is dangerous for our students who are making trips back and forth to the stadium unloading the trailer.  I’ve asked the same of the football program.  Please just park in the parking lots and let your student come to you.  Thank you!

Football Game – Lee High School (Homecoming)
Oct 19 @ 5:30 PM
Football Game - Lee High School (Homecoming)

Traditionally, the Homecoming festivities are done during half time at the Homecoming game, after the visiting band is invited to perform during their time.  This means that the home band performs their show after the game.  This will take approximately 30 minutes after the game ends, and is a time that we invite our football team to stay or come back out to see.  This performance is also important as it will be our last run-through prior to the next competition.
