First Game - August 23th at Hazel Green
Students should make plans to have a quick dinner the first game.  Students will have from 3:40 pm to 5:00 pm free.  Students can bring food, have food delivered by parents, or go and grab something nearby.

We will depart by school bus to Hazel Green shortly after 5:00 pm.  The games against James Clemens and Bob Jones will also have similar schedules.  Bring your water bottle!

When we return, students are expected to help unload the truck before leaving to go home.

Uniform for first games
Due to the heat, we wear our "casual" uniform for the first 2-3 games.  For winds and percussion this is your blue band polo, tucked into khaki shorts, athletic shoes, and white ankle-length socks.  Please wear a belt with your shorts!

Color guard is planning to wear your Lululemon skirt and t-shirt that Mrs. Flippo is providing as long as it comes in on time!
