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.
Friday’s game is an “in county away game” which means students are responsible for getting themselves (carpooling) to the stadium. Call time is 5:00 (NLT 5:30) at the Alabama A&M stadium. Big Blue should be on the visitors side (the side away from the Parkway) but the band will actually sit on the South end of the home side bleachers for the game.
Most likely at Athens, but confirmation and details to come closer to time.
– We will not be wearing uniforms. There are too many obstacles to make it happen.
– All wind and percussion students will wear khaki shorts, band shirt, and tennis shoes. Please acquire a pair of khaki shorts that fit you well (not baggy or too short – school dress code applies). We will transition to jeans as weather changes.
– Color Guard students have already been contacted about our alternate costume choice.
– ALL Varsity football games kick-off at 7:00 PM.
– For our new students/families, the Buckhorn Band does not take buses to in-county away games. We only take buses to out-of-county away games.
– Call time for away games = 5:30 AT the away venue (details sent week of)
– Please coordinate rides well ahead of time.
– We will sit at 6 foot spacing in the stands. (6 foot “triangulated windows” front to back)
