Friday/Aug 20th = Football Jamboree Game (optional)
Guard members are expected to behave in an appropriate manner at all times....even more so at school events like the Football Jamboree game this Friday night. Attendance at the Jamboree game is optional. We will not dress alike for this game but you still need to LOOK GOOD!! In or out of uniform every choice you make has a consequence. Do not jeopardize your reputation, or the reputation of our group, by participating in public displays of affection, ignore and do not respond to ugly talk or gestures. All school rules, band rules, Guard rules apply at school events/activities. Pay attention, make sure your words and your actions stay positive at all times.
For next week's first Friday night game...no colored polish...clear or French manicure only. No jewelry. No tatoos showing. No scrunchy wetlook hair.
Hot or Cold, Rain or Shine Be Prepared!!! Bug spray, clear poncho, & a stain stick must be in your bag!!
Guard members will dress alike every Friday starting next week. The required dress will be announced each day of that school week. Girls will be assigned a specific top, hairstyle, jeans, & will wear them along with your white tennis shoes all day at school. Make sure to listen, plan, and do what is expected....no checkouts or calls home for forgotten items.
Before games and rehearsals...Members are given a specific “report time”. Guard members are not permitted to stay on campus afterschool. All must leave campus and are not permitted to return to campus until 15 minutes prior to report time...no exceptions!! Guard can’t be on campus unsupervised. If you live too far to make it back you will need to find a friend who lives closer to go home with that afternoon.
At the games...Guard members will have assigned seats in the stands and will remain in the correct order the entire time!! No food/drinks/gum/candy in the stands. NO APPLICATION OF MAKEUP OR HAIR PRODUCTS!! Visitors to the band section are expected to speak and move on.. Restroom visits must be taken care of prior to game & during third quarter break...this is a privilege...NO PDA...you must be with another Guard member at all times and yes even at home games. Your 1st priority on break is to go to the restroom and get in line at the concessions stand...be responsible!! Auxiliary members report back to the stands one minute prior to Band Director’s called time.
Other Notes...
1. Required Parent Booster Meeting Thursday night at 7.
2. Cell phones are to be turned off upon arrival & remain off until you are dismissed.
3. Home Concession schedule was posted. Parents should plan to work or give notice & pay the fee as detailed.
---------------------------------------------------
FYI...for the future...
After the game when we are away...Guard Members may be checked off their bus at the end of away games. Parent/adult is required to go to our bus to check you off. Guard members are not permitted to check off our Aux bus and ride a different band bus home. If you ride home on a band bus it is the same one you came on & you will be expected to help unload the truck before you leave campus. Your ride should be waiting on you when we get back to the school. Cell phones will not be used for travel permission this season!!! Guard Members may only be checked off the bus at the end of away games by their parent or by an ADULT designated in writing by their parent. We are unable to verify notes turned in so please know that any student providing a “fake” note would be written up for providing false info. We thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding policy issues like these and ask that you remember they are not intended to cause student/parent problems, but are put in place to help ensure the safety of all participants.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Auxiliary members are required to be in the company of at least TWO other Guard members at all times at all rehearsals & games...both home & away...there is
safety in numbers.....safety from vultures and also safety from the rumor mill!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
No boyfriend or friend/visitors at rehearsals!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Parents are welcomed to observe Tuesday night rehearsals. Please make
sure however that noise is kept to a minimum since we are in the process
of instructing & learning. Also know that observers should sit in the end
sections of the stadium only. The middle section is used by directors for
instruction during the rehearsal. Students only in the bandroom or school
buildings on Tuesday nights. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
THANKS FOR A GREAT START TO A GREAT YEAR :0)
