Arrival

When you arrive on campus, the very first thing that must happen is that all buses, trucks, and other vehicles must check in at the Middle School. This is the very first entrance on the right south of the stoplight at Wolf Street and Adam Brown Road. It is a lengthy circle drive, so all of your vehicles should fit easily. Here, parent and student volunteers will sign you in, and give every student a wristband. This wristband guarantees them free admission for the remainder of the day. From this point you will proceed to the Parking Area that you have been assigned. One is to the north of the junior high, the other to the south of the junior high. Any parent spectators you have with you will need to skip the check-in circle and go straight to the spectator parking area (follow the signs).

Warm-up Areas

A student guide will come to your position in the parking areas at the appropriate time to take you to your warm-up area. There are three, labeled A, B and C. Warm-up A is located on the Baseball Field. Warm-up B is on the baseball field. Warm-up C is located on the softball field. We ask you to please warm-up facing away from the stadium, so your sound does not carry into someone else’s performance.

Stadium Entrance

Pit percussion will enter in the large gate on the Visitor’s Side of the stadium. There will be railing set up to prevent spectators from interfering with travel. All pit groups will enter the gate quietly, under the direction of the guide, and make their way to the holding area on the east end of the football field. The previous band will more than likely still be performing at this time. Once the previous band’s show is over and the pit has left the field (through the same gate) then you may proceed to the performance area. Once your performance ends, all pit personnel will leave the field going through the gated area back out into the parking lot.

All other non-pit band members will enter through the same gate. The band will then proceed, under the direction of the guide, the northeast corner of the field. When advised, the band will enter the field area to begin setting up for performance. When the show has ended all non-pit members must leave the field area through the same gate.

Power Supply

There will be power from the stadium provided; but if needed, there will be a large portable generator located on the 50 yard line, just under the bleachers. Bands will be responsible for providing their own extension cords, power strips, sound equipment, etc. The generator produces a large amount of power, and should be ample for supplying bands with plenty of electricity. The downside is that it can be a little loud, due to the amount of power that it is providing. Feel free to bring your own source of power if you choose.

Vehicles

4-wheelers, ATVs, Mules, Rangers, lawnmowers, etc. are allowed on the track surface. After dropping off equipment, we ask your driver to drive to the southwest side of the field (by the band stands) and park on the provided tarp. After the show, turn around in the track corner and travel back down the home.
