- This will be the final opportunity to improve before the real thing; make the most of this short time.
1:45PM Load Buses & Depart for Collins High High School (address above).
- Make sure you have used the restroom. We cannot stop during travel.
2:30PM Upon arrival to Collins High High School
- Students should remain on the bus until they are called by Mr. Cantrell.
- Once we unload the bus, make sure you go to the restroom.
- You may watch a few bands, but be mindful of your time.
4:30PM 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.
5:10PM Warm-Up
- We warm-up in "Band Field" for 50 minutes. Make the most out of this short time, but do not "over do" anything.
5:50PM 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.
8:15PM Drum Major & Captains will need to gather for the Awards Retreat following the Collins Hill performance. You will need to be in FULL UNIFORM.
8:30PM Awards Ceremony
9:30PM Load Buses & Depart for CBHS (make sure you use the restroom before we leave!)
10:15PM 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 10:15pm. Students should call/text parents once we depart the competition. We will also announce our arrival time upon departure via the CBBA Facebook Page.
Should you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact Mr. Cantrell ([email protected]).
