We are meeting at the football field at 8:30 AM. Wear your white band shirt (see MS Williams if you need a shirt), black shorts and sneakers. No hats but sunglasses are ok. Put on SUNSCREEN and hydrate. We are alternating the cadence and God Bless America. You can use music if you need it. We will step off at 10:00 and be back to the school around 11:00. 

We will be moving to the field for the summer and fall. Prepare to move all your gear from the school to the field/trailer in Thursday, June 20. Drop off and Pick ups will be there until the end of the season. Anything left in the band room will be thrown away or added to the school inventory.
