10/12/19 - Lincoln Links competition

This Saturday is the Lincoln Links Competition at Lincoln High School.
Lincoln High School is at 2229 'J' Street.  (GPS coordinates:  40.808414,  -96.689421)

The trailer will be loaded from Friday night's game, so no extra help is needed at KHS.  A few of us will be at KHS to load hat boxes in trailer #2 (black trailer).  See you all in Lincoln.

We will load buses at 1:30 pm and leave KHS by 2:00 pm on Saturday.  This should get us in to Lincoln High School no later than 4:30 pm.  Look for our blue trailer in the parking lot Northeast of the field.  We hope to be able to park in the lot just Northeast of the field, but it all depends on what they have available and what we can find when we get there, they may park us on the street on the North side of the field too - just look for our blue trailer.   We will unload the trailers promptly so they are ready for their 5:30 pm Warmup time.  It would be best if the whole crew gathered as soon as we arrive so we can have everything ready to go and not be rushed.  The trailers will not be moved during the warmup or performance.

Our Band is On Deck at 5:45 pm and performs at 6:00 pm.  The Pit will enter the field from the North end, just like we do at UNK.  When we enter the field onto the track, please stay on the outside four lanes.  The Band will enter from the South end.  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 as quickly as is safely possible.  Once everyone is past the goal line, our time is over and we can resume a 'normal' pace.

After the performance, we will load all equipment in to the trailer in preparation for traveling back home.  The Band has a Clinic immediately after their performance, so the it may take a bit before the students return to the trailer to tear down instruments and reload percussion, sousas and flags.  We will need to be flexible for them.  Awards are at 7:00 pm.  At about 7:30 pm the Band departs for the Southpointe Mall for supper and by 10:00 we leave for home.  We should arrive home around midnight and unload the trailer.

Remember to wear blue.  Contact Ed if you have any questions (308-440-0694). 

Thank you for helping - we're glad you're on the team.
