Smith Station game August 29, 2008!

Hey guys, It's me again. I have this feeling that some people are still feeling a little lost about plans tomorrow for a our first game. I will be taking this time to fill in some of the gaps that might be left for questions!

  • We will be meeting at Zora Ellis Jr. High for a warm up at 5:30 sharp.
    If not present for warm up by times posted you will be marked as tardy.
  • Marching into the stadium will begin around 6:45.
  • The national anthem will be played at 6:50.

The football game begins at 7:00.
everything from that point on will be managed by myself and the directors in the stands.

Students were given a handout today as a reminder to rules describing how we deal with third quarter breaks. I will go over a few points of that:

  • students are to be in the stands at 6:00 min LEFT in the 3rd quarter. At 6:00, we will begin playing. Students will also be marked as tardy if they are not back by that time.
  • The location for break is limited to the area designated by the Band Directors. We cannot provide adequate supervision if students are walking around freely.
  • There is to be no visiting within the stands.
  • There is to be NO eating during the football game. we do not eat in uniform so we can protect the investments of the school, parents, and Band Boosters. Please make sure you either eat before or after the game!
  • Restroom visits are allowed during 3rd period. Students must see a chaperone before going to the restoom.

I ask that if you have any questions to PLEASE feel free to ask or contact me at any time!
