HSS Band 2009-10.14 Volunteers for game tonight; Herndon schedule up

Hi Band Volunteers,

FYI - Mr. Burke has posted information about the Herndon competition on the band web site (http://www.hayfieldbands.com/)

Rain Policy for football game: If there's heavy rain most of the day, the athletic department will postpone the game to another day. (Decision to be made by 1pm) If the game is not postponed, the students will march UNLESS the weather is prohibitive (Mr. Burke and Mr. Helm will decide.)

INFO for volunteers:
Assuming that we DO have a game, here are some details for the different volunteers:


Uniform (before) - Report to band room around 6pm
Sabrena Capel, Leslie Bell, Elsa Palting, Karen Reed, Dottie Andrews

Uniforms (after) - above plus Davon McKeone (follow students to band room after halftime performance)

Equipment: If you can help before the game, show up in the band room by 6:45pm
if you can help at halftime, get ready to go on the field 2 minutes before the end of the first half
if you can help after the show, help move equipment back to the band room directly after the performance
(if you help all 3 times, you get to skip your session at the gym!)

Stands monitors: Ropes should be set up before the band comes out; (tonight we may also have to dry the bleacher seats); pick up ropes and rags from band closet by 6:30pm

Water and snacks: if you're coming to the game as a spectator, you can bring the water or snacks with you; OR you can send it with your band student when they report at 6pm -- tell them to look for Mrs. Monaco
