Itinerary:

Drop off students at East High School Band Room at 5:00pm. We will get into sections and assign 8th grade students to high school players.

We will head to the practice field at 5:15pm to rehearse pre-game.

We will head over to the stadium approximately 6:45pm.

We stay in assigned sections in the stadium. The band sits separately from the rest of the student body and fans. Families and friends of the band sit with other fans in the crowd.

Music:

1. Star Spangled Banner. 2. EHS School Song. 3. EHS Fight Song.

PDF's are below. Ask a parent or your band director to print your music for you. Ask your band director if they have a lyre (tiny music holder that connects to your instrument) or flip folder that attaches to your arm (flutes). You may want to back them with cardboard so they don't blow in the wind.
