10/05/19 - Harvest of Harmoney Parade & Competition

Thank you for helping with the GI competition this Saturday.  Here is the plan.

The Band loads buses at 6:00 am and leaves KHS at 6:30 am.  The trailer will already be loaded on Friday afternoon at 3:00 pm.  We should not need much additional help for this early time.  Meet us in GI.

We arrive at Connestoga Mall at 7:30 am.  We unload the Battery percussion, Sousaphones and Flags at the mall.  Look for our blue trailer and busses as we may change location but usually park in the Southeast parking lot, Southeast of the mall.  Any Pit Crew members available that can help would be most beneficial.  This preparation time happens quickly and any help is appreciated.  Once the students are in uniform they take their percussion and sousaphones on the bus with them.  We will leave the trailer parked at the mall during the parade.  We step off for the parade at 9:15 am-ish.

The parade begins at 8:00 am going down 3rd Street.  We arrive at the check in location at 10th & Walnut at 8:30 am. (band order) (parade route)

After the parade (10:00am-ish), 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 Central Catholic's football field.  We will unload the whole trailer for this rehearsal and then reload it after the rehearsal.  This is a full unload / rehearsal / reload the trailer, so any/all of the Pit Crew that can be there is beneficial.  At 3:00 the band will change in to uniforms and arrive at GISH by 3:30 pm.

By 3:15 pm the trailer arrives at GI Senior High (on the North side of the football field) and we unload the trailer and prepare for our show.  We are On Deck at 4:50 pm and the Band performs on the field at 5:00 pm.  (band order)  We will follow the Hastings band's performance.  After our performance we reload the trailer and students return to the stadium for the awards.

Awards are at 6:15 pm.  After awards (by 6:30?), we return to Kearney.

Back in Kearney we unload the trailer and we are finished. 

If you have any questions, please contact Ed Uden 308-440-0694.
If something changes during the day, call/text Ed to find out what the plan is.

Remember to wear BLUE.  Let's represent Kearney with great class.
