From Susan A:

This Friday 9/14 @ 7PM is a home football game. Please sign up to help move the drum major stands, pit equipment, and to help with the sound system at http://signup.com/go/bZZotWj

In case you don't know what is required (I did put notes in the signup spots), here is a summary of what is expected at the games. Plan to meet at the tower or the band room around 5:45 (depending on where the kids are).

· SOUND: make sure you come early to the field to make sure the power is run from the press box, so it can all be hooked up at half-time.

· DRUM MAJOR STANDS: They must be moved from the tower when practice is done to the furthest part of the fence on the field, except for 1 that will be used for the Star Spangled Banner at 7PM on the 50 yard line and the track, then it will be immediately moved to the fence after.

· PIT INSTRUMENTS: Some need help moving their equipment down to the field after their practice to put behind the student bleachers.

· HALF TIME: everyone meets 5 minutes before half-time to line up on the track to move the equipment to the field for the performance. The largest drum stand needs 2-3 people and should be assembled on the track before half-time so it is ready to roll to the 50 yard line. The 2 smallest stands go on the front 30 yard lines, the 2nd largest stand goes to the back 50 yard line.

· AFTER THE PERFORMANCE: drum major stands go back up to the tower, all other pit & sound equipment will go to the band room. You're then free to enjoy the rest of the game.
