Hello Highlanders!
Tonight is the first away game for our band! It is at Pinckney HS (link to mapquest of the location http://www.mapquest.com/print?a=app.core.af35ee3b259fad906545a562 ). Here are the guidelines:
1. Report time is 6:30 at Pinckney HS right outside the stadium.
2. Students have to bring their instrument to the site and provide their own transportation. I will be leaving directly from home to the site so they have to get the instruments after school. The janitor will usually let you in the band room if you goofed and forgot but that is on you, as I will already be at the site.
3. Students get in for free, but have to enter en masse and on time for this to happen. Students arriving after 6:40 run the risk of having to pay for themselves.
4. Students are representing HHS during the game and are expected to play and participate in the band activities during the game. Students are expected to obey the school code of conduct and can be disciplined if they violate those rules.
5. I will be on hand at the game to run the band and supervise until the end of the game, at which point I will be going home. Because it is not our home turf, neither I nor your child are allowed to be on the premises after the game ends. If you are picking them up, please arrive before the game ends so that there is no confusion.
6. We are not responsible for the students nor are we in charge of them on the way to and from the game it self. Because this is an optional activity, we are not "in charge" of the children until we have them at the site. If you are riding with another student to the game, make sure that you tell your parents so that they are aware, as people have varying comfort levels about student drivers.
Ok, now that we have the ground rules set... THIS SHOULD BE AWESOME!!! See you tonight!!!
