Band Stands Etiquette
1. Have FUN!!!
2. No profanity.
3. Talk to your friends but you must pay attention to the game and the drum majors.
4. Class Band ONLY (CBO) students MUST remain in the Band Stands when the Competitive Band leaves to prepare for the halftime show. CBO students can play the fight song if the team scores a touchdown or field goal. CBO percussion students have the option to help the front ensemble Competitive Students at halftime if they wish.
5. ALL Students may NOT go to the concession stand until after the halftime performance is completed.
6. ALL students must be back in the stands with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter after the halftime performance.
7. NO student is allowed to leave early for any reason unless they have cleared it with a band director.
Procedures concerning Checking Out Student/s after Away Games or Competitions
Parents... if you want to check-out your student after an away game or competition, you must do two things. First, PLEASE send Mr. Brown and I an email at least 1 day prior to the event saying you want to check-out your student after the event has concluded. This way, I can alert the uniform crew and student to have their uniform bag with them so that the uniform comes back to the school that evening. This is very important so the that uniforms stay in good shape.
Second, parents MUST personally speak to the student's bus chaperone before the student will be allowed to be checked out. A student informing a bus chaperone that they are being checked out will not be allowed to leave. Chaperones MUST see and speak with the student's parents. No one else is allowed to check out a student for any reason.
Please know that this is for the safety of your students and abides with KCS policies. We thank you for your understanding.
Band Fair Share/Fees and Physicals
Also, we still have many students that have not turned in a physical form yet. PLEASE make sure everyone continues to send these in as school begins.
ParentSquare/StudentSquare and Remind Class Codes
PLEASE make sure you have both ParentSquare/StudentSquare and Remind on your mobile device! We will primarily use PS/SS but will also use Remind as well when needed.
