If you have a question…
If this is your first competition, you are bound to have a question throughout the day. The best person to ask is your section leader, they will either have the answer or know how to get the answer.

On the bus...
You are to be courteous and respectful to the chaperones and driver at all times.
Remember that food on the bus is a privilege and not a right. You may eat snacks to and from the competition, but you must clean up after yourselves.
Please use headphones if you wish to listen to music.
Personal items are to be left on the bus for the performance. If you will be worried for the safety of the item, don’t bring it.

When we perform…
We are in FULL DRESS UNIFORM for this competition!! It is everyone’s responsibility that you have your uniform, hat box (containing ONLY shako), MTX shoes, BLACK CALF-LENGTH socks, gloves, gauntlets and MB tee shirt!
No cell phones, jewelry, earrings/piercings when we perform. THIS INCLUDES FOUNDATION!!

After we perform…
We change into our show shirts and weather appropriate clothing (long term forecast looks like it may be a little chilly at night) and we sit TOGETHER in the stands. If you want to get concessions, let a chaperone know and come right back.
No one goes into the stands until Mr. Krause gives the okay
There will be concessions at the contest. Bring some cash if you want concessions.
We sit as a group in the stands and cheer for all other bands until awards.

When we return to WNHS…
Nobody leaves until everything is unloaded, put away properly and we formerly dismiss
