Students should wear Band Warm Ups with Red Band Shirt between Prelims and Finals. For new students, these must have been paid for before they will be distributed.
Please ensure your child has money for lunch ($6.00) and dinner in the arena ($10-$12). Due to the constraints of the dome area, the boosters will not be providing meals – only snacks.
All Band & Guard: Dress comfortably and tastefully for the bus ride.
You may want to bring a small blanket and pillow for personal comfort on the
bus.
Students with medicine should bring it in a sealed plastic bag with directions for dispensing
PARENTS: YOUR STUDENT MUST REMAIN WITH THE BAND AT ALL TIMES UNTIL AFTER COMPETITION AND FINAL LOADING OF TRUCKS.
If the head chaperone of your student’s bus has received a signed note from you before leaving OHS, at this time, you and your child TOGETHER must notify Rhonda Weaver that your child is leaving with you. Any request for a band member to leave with anyone other than a parent must be done prior to leaving OHS. Please include, on the note, a cell number where you can be reached.
Any request for a band member to leave with anyone other than a parent requires a note and a conversation with Mr. Denton prior to leaving on the trip.
Parents: If the band should not make Finals, we will NOT stay for Finals, as Bands of America charges the bands for reentry. With this in mind, if you want to stay, you will need to come check your child out at the buses immediately following the Preliminary Awards Ceremony.
The Band Boosters will have a few tickets to sell. These are All Day Passes.
Tickets for the competition are as follows:
Prelims: $19.00 – General Admission
