TWB 2024 HOMECOMING EDITION

It is Homecoming week at Wylie High School. This is an exciting time for all the students and a great time for us to see some of our graduates come home and see the legacy they left upon their graduation. Here are some details for the week.

MONDAY–Homecoming Parade (NO EVENING REHEARSAL)

Instruments/Transportation

• Tubas and Bass Drums will load their instruments onto a band trailer after class. These will be taking these instruments to our staging area for you to retrieve when you arrive at 5:15pm.
  
• All other instruments will be the responsibility of the student.
  

• Meet at 5:30pm at the corner of Jackson St & Brown (marked on the map).

• Student transportation will not be provided. You must plan your transportation to and from the parade (drive/parent drop off/ride with friend)

• Arrive at 5:00pm to find your way to our meeting location.
  
• Meet at 5:30pm at the corner of Jackson St & Brown (marked on the map).

Clubs/Activities/Football

• Football players, it is assumed that you are riding the football floats.
  

FRIDAY – Homecoming Game

Mums/Garters

If someone makes you wear one of those mums and garters, this is the procedure.

• Mums - You can have these in the stands, however these cannot pin directly to your uniform. Get creative, but no pinning to the uniform.

• Garters – These can go around the arm of your uniform.

• These will NOT be worn during halftime, although it would create a great Youtube marching band blooper video. It would sound like a herd of cattle...why do they put cowbells on them...ladies, do not let some boy put a cowbell on you! The only thing that should wear a cowbell is a cow.

Pregame/Halftime/Homecoming Court

• All Homecoming events, including Band Beau and Sweetheart will be conducted before the game. We will not perform pregame & choir will sing the National Anthem.

• If you are in the Homecoming Court/Band Beau and Sweetheart you will wear your stylish garments for the first quarter, then change into your uniform during the second quarter to perform with the band during halftime.

• Halftime is big for us because we will unveil the majority of our marching show.
  

Enjoy homecoming week. It is a teenage right of passage.
