2:30PM Load Buses & Depart for Strong Rock Christian School (4200 Strong Rock Pkwy., Locus Grove, GA 30248).
- Make sure you have used the restroom. We cannot stop during travel.
4:30PM Upon arrival to Strong Rock Christian School
- Students should remain on the bus until they are called by Mr. Cantrell.
- We will have dinner on their own through the concessions.
- After dinner, make sure you go to the restroom. You may watch a few bands, but be mindful of your time.
6:50PM Report back to buses
- Retrieve band uniforms and instruments. Large instruments and percussion will retrieve instruments from the equipment truck.
- Guard will need to retrieve all equipment (flags, rifles, costumes, etc.). DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND.
- Line up and walk over to warm-up areas. Please move quickly and quietly and pay extra attention during this critical time.
7:20PM Warm-Up
- We warm-up in "Area 1" for 45 minutes. Make the most out of this short time, but do not "over do" anything.
8:15PM COMPETITION PERFORMANCE
TBA We will march off the field and go back to the buses/equipment truck to put up all equipment. Students will change out of uniforms (Captains and Drum Major will need uniforms for awards ceremony). After we put away all equipment, we will move together as a group back to the stadium to watch other bands perform. We will all sit together in the stands.
9:00PM Student Leadership will need to gather for the Awards Retreat following the Strong Rock Christian School Band performance. You will need to be in FULL UNIFORM.
9:20PM Awards Ceremony
10:30PM Load Buses & Depart for CBHS (make sure you use the restroom before we leave!)
12:00AM Arrive Back at CBHS - all members are dismissed once we have unloaded all equipment from the equipment truck.
Our plan for dinner is that the students will purchase items from the concession stands and eat in the stands. Students will need spending money for concessions.
We will treat this event like it is an “Away Game”, therefore, if students are going to ride home with parents following the competition, we need to have a letter documentation prior to departure of Cherokee Bluff and the parent will need to check-in with Mr. Cantrell or Mr. Lonberger before leaving.
School buses will be bringing students back to Cherokee Bluff around midnight. Students should call/text parents once we depart the competition.
Should you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact Mr. Cantrell (craig.cantrell@hallco.org).
