Arrival for Participants

When you arrive on campus all buses, trucks, and other school vehicles need to check in at the Middle School. This is the 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 school vehicles should fit easily. While here, parent and student volunteers will sign you in, and give every student and staff member a wristband. Any parent spectators you have with you will need to go straight to the spectator parking area (follow the signs). 

Monitors and Warm-Up Areas

There will be monitors provided for the event.  It will be the responsibility of the director and staff of each group to enter and exit the Warm-Up Area at their appropriate times. Beginning the Warm-Up process too soon or arriving late to the gate could result in disqualification from the event.  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 two warm-up areas, labeled A and C. Warm-up A is located 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 at 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, to 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.

Water Stations

Due to Covid regulations, we will not be providing water stations at the contest.  Directors will want to make sure to provide water for their students throughout the day as temps can be warm, even this time of year.
