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.
1:00 – Students released from class (& will only miss about 15 minutes of instruction since the school will be on Pep Rally schedule; 3rd lunch students will finish lunch) – load the trailer and do triple checks

We will be taking 56 passenger charter buses for this trip as it is a school night and Mr. Markham offered to donate some travel funds to offset the extra cost to us. We appreciate Capital Trailways for giving us a fantastic price for 3 charter buses. Band, Football, Cheer, & Dance students are currently not excused from school Friday morning.
Next Friday’s football game (October 4) is a 3:00 start time against Jemison. Just like any other in-county game we will not take buses so students will need to carpool. If you haven’t already, please coordinate carpooling for your student and let me know if you need assistance in finding a ride. Arriving by 1 should allow drivers to get in to the parking lot without having to pay – be respectful if they are taking tickets (unlikely) and tell them you are in the band or working for the band. When entering from the Ivy Avenue (south end) you will want to park on the right side of the stadium. Big Blue will park over there for easy unload and dress.
