BAND PARENT/FAMILY SEATING FOR FOOTBALL GAMES
If you are coming to the football games, please come sit down next to the band! If you are on the home side of the field the band is in the top section of the stands closest to the school. Look for the black podium in the stands. There will be a sectioned off area for the band but we would love for all our families and friends to join us in this area of the stands just outside the sectioned off area.
Please remember that the visitor concession stand supports the band program. We are working on getting permission for band family and friends to be able to cross the field on the track to be able to visit our concession stand. Stay tuned on what to do to be able to cross the field to support the band's concession stand!
