Game & Competition Update

* Friday night away game against Hillsboro.  The gig sheet is attached.  It is Hillsboro's Homecoming, so we will perform after the game instead of during Half Time. 

* Competition in Columbia Saturday.  The gig sheet is attached.  Band members will need to bring BOTH their FIELD and CASUAL uniforms Saturday.  Students also need to remember to bring plenty of WATER and MONEY and/or SNACKS.  It has been suggested that folks may want to "tail gate" Saturday.  Due to the late notice, will not have a full "tailgate" party.  Instead, if you would like to have "picnic" with friends, please plan accordingly.

* Columbia competition information.  Parking will be $2 for the day, with proceeds going to the Knights of Columbus.  There are separate entry fees for the MTSBOA competition and the CIMC competition.  Each will run adults $10 and children under 6 years $5-6. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY TWICE IF YOU WANT TO WATCH BOTH COMPETITIONS.  The concession stand will be open all day. 

The directors appreciate your help, but please give Mr. Chester time to get the band settled and catch a breath before asking him for a free pass to the contest.  He, and not parents, will distribute the passes.

SUNSET
Friday night the band will travel to Hillsboro and perform after the game.  The students will report at 5:00 dressed and ready to go.  Trucks will be loaded with equipment and off to Hillsboro we go.

We will return to Hillwood after Hillsboro performs their show.  Lucky for us, we will NOT unload Friday night for our Saturday morning practice!  We'll leave the truck loaded and ready to go the next morning.

SUNRISE
After a brief check, we will load uniforms, members, and parents and off to Columbia we go.

Upon arrival, we will receive our squatting territory for the day.  You will make new friends. 

The first performance will take place @ 11:15 AM. CHEER

Upon completion, the band will go into their field uniforms (black shorts and white shirts) to rest for the second performance @ 5:22 PM.  CHEER

Then, the band will change into casual uniforms and the parents will load the truck.

We will then bond, laugh, share, cheer, relax, eat, and reminisce until ...

The tears of joy are shared over our accomplishments.

Travel home..grab any parent in the lot to help us unload so we can leave for home before 2 am.

Please join us for sunset, sunrise, cheers, and tears!
