Phones are not allowed in stands.
Stay with a buddy at all times.
Band staff/leadership/drumline/pit/tubas are all expected to UNLOAD the trucks back at NHS after the game.

PARENTS:

Please pick up your student around 9:00pm by the swim center.
This is the only supervised pickup location.

REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR FANWEAR!
Parents, family & friends, support the marching band & color guard by wearing your “I’m with the Band!” fanwear to the game. If you were unable to pick up your pre-order at the kickoff performance last Friday, your orders will be available at the spiritwear table, which will be located near the stands. Items will be available for purchase as well.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all the parent, student and alumni volunteers who helped last week during band camp! We hope you enjoyed seeing your student(s) perform, as well as meeting other band parents! Did you know that it takes 300+ volunteers to support marching band each season? We can only do this with your support and sincerely appreciate anything you can do to help! Thank you to those of you who have already signed up! There are still many opportunities available to help for 1-2 hours, or at every performance. Sign up HERE. Want to help, but not sure where? Contact TIMB.President@gmail.com.
