09/23/07 UNK Band Day & Bearcat Marching Festival


TIME CHANGES:  Due to Weather, we are moving times up earlier.  We need our Pit Crew at the Band Room by 1:15 pm, NOT 3:30pm.  We will warm up music at 1:45, warmup marching at 2:00 and then perform on the field at 2:15 pm.  All bands will move through much quicker in hopes of getting done ahead of the predicted rain. 

 
We are not transporting any equipment from the High School to the UNK Band Day parade, each student is responsible for getting their own instrument to the parade and back, so we just go and enjoy the parade.

The Awards ceremony from the parade starts off the Bearcat Marching Festival at 1:00 pm at the KHS football field with an exhibition by the UNK Pride of the Plains Marching Band.

The trailer will be parked South of the High School building or just West of the South end of the football field.  We will meet at our blue trailer at 3:30 pm to get set up and then move the equipment on the field and then back to the trailer and Band room after our Band's performance.  No extra stuff with this event - nice having a home-field situation.

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

Remember to Wear BLUE.

Many of us will be helping work the Bearcat Marching Festival, so we will need all hands on deck to help get our band ready to perform.  Getting stuff out of the trailer and helping the students move equipment from the Band room around the west side of the building down to the trailer in the Pit area would be very helpful.
Those of us helping with the Bearcat Marching Festival will join our Band's pit crew as we move on to the field.  KHS will be the last band to perform, so we will be done working when our Band takes the field.

Any help with tear-down / clean-up after the event is greatly appreciated.

If you are helping with the Bearcat Marching Festival, remember that we have a 'run-through' on Friday evening.  We will be setting up parking barricades and such, so come prepared to get ready for Saturday.  Meet in the Commons (Cafeteria area) by the Teachers' lounge.
