10/19/19 - Lincoln LPS competition

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 load the trailer on Friday afternoon for the game and will leave the trailer loaded overnight on Friday.

We will load buses at 11:00 am and leave KHS by 11:30 am on Saturday.  This should get us to Seacrest in Lincoln no later than 1:30 pm.  Look for the blue trailer and the Bearcat buses in the West parking lot.  We hope to be able to park toward the North side of the West parking lot, but it all depends on what they have available and what we can find when we get there.   We will unload the battery percussion and flag carts and sousaphones by the buses promptly so they are ready for their 3:10 pm Warmup time.  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 3:15 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 is On Deck at 3:35 pm and 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 where the Band loads instruments and puts equipment away, then we load the battery percussion, flags and sousaphones back on the trailer in preparation for traveling back home.  Awards are at 5:15 pm.  At about 6:00 pm the Band departs for the Gateway Mall for supper and at 8:00 we leave for home.  We should arrive home around 10:00 pm 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.
