10/3/16 - Harvest of Harmoney Parade & Competition
Thank you for helping with the GI competition. Here is the plan.
The Band leaves KHS at 7:30 am. The trailer will already be loaded from Friday night's game.
We arrive at Connestoga Mall at 8:30 am. We unload the Battery percussion, Sousaphones and Flags at the mall. Once the students are in uniform they take their percussion and sousaphones on the bus with them. We will leave the trailer parked at Connestoga mall.
After the parade (11:00 am), we meet back at Connestoga Mall to load the Battery percussion, Flags and Sousaphones back on to the trailer and then we take a lunch break.
By 1:00 pm we are at a rehearsal at GI Northwest's football field. We will unload the trailer for this rehearsal and then reload it after the rehearsal.
At 4:00 pm we go to GI Senior High and unload the Battery percussion, flags and sousaphones by the Band. Then we move the trailers over to the North end of the field and unload the pit equipment and the barrel trailer. The Band performs on the field at 5:15 pm. After Awards at 5:45 pm, we load the trailer and return to Kearney.
Back in Kearney (about 7:45 pm) we unload the trailer and we are finished.
If you have any questions, please contact Ed Uden 308-440-0694.
Remember to wear BLUE.

10/2/16 Football Halftime
Here is the plan for Friday's game. Remember to wear BLUE.
The Band meets at the UNK Fine Arts building at 5:30 pm. I will have the Band Trailer on the South side of the Library by 5:30 pm. (this is just East of Fine Arts) I need a few guys to help unload battery percussion and sousaphones. Then we move the trailer up to Foster Field.
Right before the game starts, we could use most of the crew that is available to unload the Pit percussion. We will also unload the barrels from the second trailer and put them on the 8' wagon along with the metal items. Then we can go watch the game up until about 5 minutes left in the first half. By about 5 minutes left, we need to have all Pit Crew at the Band Trailer at the North end of the stadium. We will prepare to move the Pit equipment out on to the field and then after the show we will move it back to the trailer and load the trailer back up. I will then move the trailer back to the South side of the Library, East of Fine Arts.
After the game, if you could help make sure all the percussion and sousaphone stands come back to the trailer, that would be great. Then, I need a few guys to help load the battery percussion and sousaphones back on to the trailer. Once we're loaded up, we will take the trailer back to the High School. It does not get unloaded because we are headed for Grand Island on Saturday morning.
We will not be loading the trailer at 3:30 on Friday because the Band has a rehearsal from 9 - 11 and will load after their rehearsal.
Remember to wear BLUE. Thank you for being on the team. See you on Friday.

9/23/16 Football Halftime - BARREL crew
If you are a new volunteer offering to help with the Pit Crew to help move barrels, we appreciate your help. Please meet Ed Uden by the blue Band Trailer at the North end of the stadium at the end of the 1st quarter. We will put our plan together and move the barrels and steel items to the field with the rest of the pit crew at the start of halftime, then move them off after halftime. If you have questions, please contact Ed Uden or one of the Directors. See you on Friday.

Right before the game starts, we could use most of the crew that is available to unload the Pit percussion. Then we can go watch the game up until about 5 minutes left in the first half. At about 4 to 5 minutes left, we need to have all Pit Dads at the Band Trailer at the North end of the stadium. We will prepare to move the Pit equipment out on to the field and then after the show we will move it back to the trailer and load the trailer back up. I will then move the trailer back to the South side of the Library, East of Fine Arts.
After the game, if you could help make sure all the percussion and sousaphone stands come back to the trailer, that would be great. Then, I need a few guys to help load the battery percussion and sousaphones back on to the trailer. Once we're loaded up, we will take the trailer back to the High School and unload it in to the Band room.
IF you are available at about 3:30 pm, any help with loading the trailer would be greatly appreciated. I have the Band kids to help and it would go even quicker if we had a couple of Dads to help. I'm not asking you to leave work, I'm just offering the opportunity if you are available and would be willing to help.
It looks like we may have the inverter/generator for the audio cart by Friday.
We also have some props to add to the show. This may mean a second trailer as well as we will use the third wagon to haul some barrels and percussion gear on to the field. So, if you know of any other Band Dads who would be willing to help, have them contact me. You can also send them to this blog ( bearcatpitcrew.blogspot.com ) for information.

UNK Band Day / Bearcat Marching Festival
We are not transporting equipment from the High School to the UNK Band Day parade, each student is responsible for getting their instrument to the parade and back, so we get to just go and enjoy the parade. Check the UNK site for details.
The Awards ceremony from the parade starts off the Marching Festival at 1:00 pm with an exhibition by the UNK Pride of the Plains Marching Band.
The trailer is parked South of the High School building or just West of the South end of the football field. We will meet at the blue trailer at 3:30 pm to get set up and then move the equipment on the field and then back to the trailer after their performance. No extra stuff with this event - nice having a home-field situation.

3:30 pm Saturday at the Band trailer at the South side of the High School.

We will help get equipment ready to go on the field, then move it on to the field at the start of halftime and after the Band has performed we move it back off and load it back in to the trailer.

Then again AFTER the game at UNK Fine Arts to load the battery and sousaphones back in to the trailer and then unload back at the new High School Band room.
