10/13/17 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, sousaphones, flags, etc.  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 so they can set up and warm up.  Then we can go watch the game up until about 5 minutes left in the first half.  By 5 minutes left in the second quarter we need to have all Pit Crew members 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.  When we load the trailer, we need to be preparing it for travelling to Lincoln on Saturday.  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 stands and sousaphone stands come back to the trailer, that would be great.  Then, we need a few guys to help load the battery percussion and sousaphones back on to the trailer once the Band is back to Fine Arts.  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 Lincoln on Saturday.

If you are available and want to help load the trailer on Friday afternoon at 2:30, you are welcome to join us.  We have students that help, but if you want to come help you are welcome to come.

If you need to update your entry on the Availability Doodle, please do so ASAP.  This helps us make sure we have enough scheduled help to run the Pit Crew at the Competitions this week for Lincoln and next week for NSBA.  Thank you.

Note that you should be receiving a text reminder from me on Thursday or Friday.  IF you do not receive a text, please let me know so I can get you on my text group list.  This could be important on Saturday because the current forecast in Lincoln is rain and I'll use text to notify the team.

Remember to wear BLUE.  Thank you for being on the team.  Your help is valuable to the Band and it is definitely appreciated.  Every one of you makes a difference for the success of the Pit Crew.  See you on Friday.
