Students should wear clothing that will allow them to change into their marching uniform without needing a private changing room. Students should not wear jeans under their uniform. They also need to bring their unique duffle bag with their marching shoes, reeds, valve oil, gloves, and any other items they need. We will depart from and return to Northview Middle School.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE DEPART AT 5:00pm. THAT MEANS THAT STUDENTS NEED TO BE ON THE BUS AND WE HAVE TIME TO TAKE ATTENDANCE AND STILL LEAVE ON TIME.
The students will have time to eat from 3:30-5:00pm. They are free to go somewhere or they can bring a sack lunch to eat at Northview. It is important that every student eats during this time as there will not be an opportunity for them to eat until after the performance.
If you are planning to bring your student home from the contest after the performance you need to email Mr. Hook by Noon on Friday, October 10th.
