10/14/17 - Lincoln LPS competition

Thank you to everyone who helped in Grand Island last weekend.  You make Kearney proud.
Great support for our students, our Directors and our Band.

This Saturday is the Lincoln LPS Competition at Seacrest Field at 3:45 pm.
Seacrest Field in Lincoln is at 75th and 'A' streets.  (GPS coordinates:  40.798958,  -96.621382)


We will leave KHS at 11:00 am on Saturday.  This should get us to Seacrest in Lincoln at 1:00 pm.  Look for the blue trailer and the Bearcat buses in the west parking lot.  The Band has an hour and a half to watch other bands before we start getting ready.  We will unload the battery percussion and flag carts, and sousaphones by the buses starting about 2:30 pm.  It would be best if the whole crew gathered by the buses before we went to the field staging area in order to start getting ready.

Then we will move the trailer to the North end of the field to unload the pit equipment.  This is probably around 3:00 pm that we will be down on the North end of the field getting everything unloaded and ready.  There will numerous bands there on the back side of the buildings North of the field, so we will need to be efficient and probably will not have a lot of room to spread out while we get ready.

The Band performs at 3:45 pm.  We will enter the field from the North end, just like we do at UNK.  The Band will enter from the North end with us, just like we did at GI.  Remember that once the Band takes the field after everything has been set up and we have exited the field, even if something falls, we cannot enter the field to assist (it's a penalty point).  It's all up to the students during the performance.  This is also a timed performance.  We have 15 minutes to get on the field, perform the show, and get everything off the field.  So when we are getting off the field, get it all loaded up and get past the goal line quickly.  Once everyone is past the goal line, our time is over and we can resume a 'normal' pace.

After the performance, we will load the pit equipment in to the trailer and then return to the buses in the parking lot for the rest of the equipment.  Awards are at 5:00 pm.  After awards, the Band unloads and puts equipment away, then we load the battery percussion, flags and sousaphones back on the trailer in preparation for travelling back home.  At 5:30 the Band departs for the Mall for supper and at 7:30 we leave for home.  We should arrive home around 9:30 pm and unload the trailer.

Remember to wear blue.  Contact Ed if you have any questions.
Thank you for helping - we're glad you're on the team.
