Football Game Day Etiquette

• The band room is for current band students only. This is to keep the room protected and keep traffic flow moving efficiently. 

• The band room doors are locked during Quarters 1, 2 & 4. Please be sure you have everything you need during the game before we march to the stadium. 

• Please eat before you arrive. Concessions get popular in the 3rd Quarter, and you are not guaranteed food. 

• Make sure all sections are back in the stands at 0:00 in the 3rd Quarter. 

• At the end of the night:

  • The band section in stadium is clean before the entire band departs for the band room. The band room will not open until this is complete. 

  • All uniforms are correctly hung up, stored, and taken care of.

  • All equipment is put back in its home.

  • The band room and adjacent rooms (guard, drums, makeup) are ready for next use.
