A big THANK YOU! to everyone who helped with issuing uniforms and providing water the first week of school. Your assistance made a difference!
 


Thanks to everyone who has signed up to work consessions for this week's game!  We still have slots open for upcoming games!


   What it takes to move this band   


Taking a marching band the size of ours to contests requires enormous amounts of time, effort, money, food and equipment.  So, here is a rough idea of what's involved:

  • Five full size school buses or charter buses 
  • Adult sponsors for each bus
  • Large cargo truck for pit equipment & support
  • Enclosed trailer for percussion / Drumline equipment
  • Enclosed trailer for 230 uniforms
  • Enclosed trailer for food and cooking supplies (tables, water, tent, etc)
  • Two open utility trailers for transporting Gator, generators and other misc equipment (Gator is used on site for transporting heavier equipment at contest)
  • Support vehicles for pulling trailers
  • Giant tent for meal preparations
  • Numerous large propane stoves for meal preparations
  • Food for 500 meals PER contest (usually two meals for the day)
  • Volunteers for assisting with uniforms and pluming
  • Volunteers to assist with water/drinks to/from competition site while marching
  • Volunteers for meal preparation and serving
  • Volunteers for moving contest equipment

That's for just one weekend competition!  We usually attend four competitions during September and October so your help is greatly needed!

Football games require:

  • Large cargo truck for pit equipment & support
  • Enclosed trailer for percussion / Drumline equipment
  • Enclosed trailer for 230 uniforms
  • Support vehicles for pulling trailers
  • Volunteers for assisting with uniforms and pluming
  • Volunteers to assist with water/drinks after half-time performance
  • Volunteers for moving contest equipment
  • Volunteers to work the consession stands (the band makes money on consessions!)
  • Behind the Scenes!
