Tigerettes are required to ride the bus to the game. They may be checked off by their PARENT or by another ADULT designated in writing by their parent at the end of the game. Tigs riding the bus home are NOT permitted to switch buses...they go to the game and return to the school on the same bus!! They MUST have a ride waiting on them at school when the buses return...we can't go home until they do!

Tigerettes are expected to behave in an appropriate manner at all times. In or out of uniform every choice made has a consequence. Do not jeopardize your reputation, or the reputation of our Guard, by participating in public displays of affection (PDA), ignore and do not respond to ugly talk or gestures. All school, band, guard rules apply at school events/activities. Pay attention, make sure your words and your actions stay positive at all times.

Tigerettes dress alike every Friday. Assigned dress is REQUIRED participation...all day...no exceptions. Make sure you listen 5th period to what the Seniors ask of you...again ...plan well, and do what is expected.

Before games and rehearsals...members are given a specific “report time”. TIGS are not permitted to stay on campus afterschool. All Tigs must leave campus and are not permitted to return to campus until 15 minutes prior to report time...no exceptions!! You 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 Friday afternoons. Bigs, Middles, Littles should be able to assist with this!

At games...Tigerettes 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...Tigs have a job to do!

Restroom visits must be taken care of prior to game & during third quarter break...this is a privilege...NO PDA...you must be with two other Guard members on every break...home games, away games, contests...all the time!

Tigerettes always report back to the stands one minute prior to Band Director’s called time.

Tigerettes do not leave games/events early...they will be dismissed BY THE BUSES at the end of the game or event.

Tigerettes 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!!!

Students only in the bandroom and school buildings on Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday.

Please don’t forget that laps are required when Tigs are late or when they show up unprepared. We thank you in advance for being a responsible member and parent...arriving on time and having all items needed for rehearsal/games/contests/exhibitions. We also appreciate you all “not whining” when lack of preparation or time management sends a girl around the field.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding policy issues 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 participants & smooth operation of our group as a whole.

OTHER REMINDERS...

All should expect Spring Trip payments to begin October 1st...we will get the info to you as soon as we have it.

Doctor’s excuses...a doc’s note is required for any rehearsal missed due to illness. We always follow doctor’s orders...without a doc’s release or instructions we can’t let you practice or perform.

Tigerette clothes/items...this is a repeat of instruction during summer camp...DO NOT wear or carry or alter any of our new items (uniform, costume, or pep) until your Directors instruct you to do so...we must keep everything fresh/new for this fall. Tigerettes are the only people who should be wearing Tigerette/Guard items.

Arriving & Leaving on time...make sure your parents and/or your ride know the correct times you are to arrive as well as the correct time to pick you up...again, we can’t go home til you do!!!
