Football Season Has Arrived!
Our first football game and pep rally will be Thursday. Here are some reminders about football games...
•All Symphonic and Concert band students are required to perform. Exceptions: eighth grade football players, eighth grade cheerleaders and dance team members who are also in the band. Seventh grade football players that are in the band are asked to perform with the band during the eighth grade game.
•Wear the HTMS Band “Rock Band” t-shirt, BLUE JEANS (shorts, capris, pants) or KHAKIS (shorts, capris, pants). You may wear a jacket or you may wear a long sleeved shirt underneath your band T-shirt if cool weather is expected.
•Bring your instrument, music, lyre and flip folder. Also bring spare reeds, oils, and any other needed accessories.
•FOOD, GUM, CANDY, AND DRINKS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE STANDS!! You will be given a soft drink during half-time. You may not eat during the game. Please eat before you arrive.
•Parents, friends and others are NOT allowed to bring you any of the above mentioned items.
•Once we enter the stadium, you may not leave for any reason until the game has ended.
•Restroom visits are by emergency only. Our duty is to perform at the game, and we need all of our students in the stands for the whole game.
•The band directors are expected to keep you and your instrument safe during the game. It is your responsibility to conduct yourself in a manner that will keep your instrument free from damage. Everyone must keep one hand on their instrument at all times.
•Be on time. Call time is 6:00 P.M. Our meeting place will be in the middle school gym or on the blacktop.
•Come to the game even if it is or has been raining. We will stay in the gym for the first quarter of the game if necessary. We will dismiss after the first quarter if the weather is still bad. Stay home only if the game was postponed prior to your leaving school. Bring your case if there is a chance that it may rain.
•During the game always be alert. We are there to play and promote school spirit not just to watch the game. We will play very often, so be ready at all times. Watch the director for instructions.
•All home games are played at the HT stadium.
•It is the responsibility of all students to get their instruments to and from the game.
•HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have your parents pick you up no later than one hour and forty-five minutes after kick-off. You should meet them on the sidewalk nearest the entrance to the band room. Parents are encouraged to attend the game and/or work in the band booster concession stands if at all possible. As soon as the game ends the band directors will supervise students until all have been picked up.
