State Football Band 11-28-2020
Congratulations to the Football team! 3rd State Championship Game in 4 years... WOW!!
Our Mustangs will be playing for the state title against Derby at 1:00 PM on Saturday, 11/28/2020. This year, the State Championship game is local - at the "C-BAC" (The Olathe District Football Stadium at Olathe Northwest - the "College Boulevard Activities Complex").
In spite of our very strange year, we would like to take the band! Admin and Football Families have asked if the band could perform. The Derby band will NOT be traveling from the Wichita area.
This will be a voluntary performance. Please read the info below and let us know if you can/will perform.
Covid precautions: We will be seated in our own area behind one of the end zones, so we will be well away from any crowds. We will also follow all of our mitigation protocols (bell covers, playing masks, distancing, etc).
Schedule/Details (subject to change, but this should be pretty close):
Students/Families will need to provide their own transportation
Saturday, 11-28-2020:
Noon: Call time - meet in a Parking lot around CBAC. Exact meeting location TBD. Please eat lunch before you come.
Quick warm-up and move-in to stadium.
Set up/ready to perform by 12:30.
Perform National Anthem and Fight Song/Etc during pre-game (from our seats. This will not be a "show" on the track or on the field).
1:00 - Game Kickoff. Perform pep tunes as normal during the game.
No halftime show (we'll play pep tunes from our seats).
4:00 - estimated finish. (we'll have students send texts with estimated pick up times as the game progresses)
A note for Percussion/Color Guard:
- We are not doing any kind of "show". This performance will be the Star Spangled Banner and Pep Tunes from our seats.
- BATTERY PERCUSSION is CRITICAL to this kind of performance - so we need a good battery section.
- FRONT ENSEMBLE PERCUSSION performers are welcome to join! We'll look at who plans to perform and come up with the best answer for Front Ensemble.
- COLOR GUARD MEMBERS are welcome to join us, but there will not be a color guard performance.
Ticketing/attendance info for band parents will be emailed out soon. A crowd is allowed, up to 50% of the stadium capacity.
