PANTHER STADIUM

All SIMS home football games will take place at Panther Stadium at the Lakeside Schools Complex. Intersection of Blue Ridge Dr and Fairfield Way in Evans, GA.

CONDUCT DURING PERFORMANCES

Band students are an active part of the game.  Students are expected to be ready to play at various times of the game with very little warning / preparation: the game happens quickly and students should be engaged in cheering with the cheerleaders and paying attention to the game.  For this reason, cell phones are not allowed in the stands and non-band members may not visit or sit with the band.  Water is allowed in the stands, but no food or sodas.  

​

THE STALLINGS ISLAND BAND UNIFORM

Presenting a single, uniform appearance is important so that our dress doesn’t distract from the music we are playing. 

Students will wear the current year's SIMS band shirt (this will be provided before the first game to all students who have paid the participation fee for the current school year).  In most cases, shorts and sneakers are appropriate. Shorts must abide by all dress code policies as laid out in the Columbia County Board of Education- Student Handbook.

ENTRY FEES
