SOME NOTES:

• All students are to stay together as a group throughout the day.

• Students may bring a jacket to wear if needed while not performing. HOWEVER, students must stay in their marching pants and show shirt throughout the day when we are not performing.

• You are representing our school and community! Be on your best behavior.

• Be respectful to all other schools and performers.

• Cell phones are NOT to be out in the middle of performances!

• Students who are coming from cross country and meeting us at RRHS are to communicate with Mr. Dubbs the week of POB confirming arrival time and location at the stadium.
