THAT WYLIE BUGLE - BOA & UIL State

• If you are parking at WHS, you must park in your parking spot.
  
• If you are a parent going with us, you will park in the stadium parking lot.
  

Everywhere we will be going is a CASHLESS environment. So, use a debt card, credit card, or get a prepaid gift card to use on the trip.

• The Wylie Band Booster Club will be purchasing patches, so you do not need money for that.
• You should plan on having $20-$30. This will cover concessions and some other item.
• If you would like BOA and/or STATE shirts, plan on more money. They are usually expensive.

BOA & UIL Parking Information:

Parking is awful. Just know that going into it and have a couple plans.

• Parking will be around $20. Lot B is open to park; however, it is pretty small.
• Plan an EXTRA HOUR TO PARK. Due to an unavoidable Covid-19 vaccination station in LOT B it is likely that this lot will fill up at some point during the day, especially on Monday. Once this lot is full spectators must find parking elsewhere.
• There are numerous public parking lots west of I-37 in the vicinity of the Convention Center.
• In Lot B, there are no in and out privileges.
