• Pep band games are optional, not mandatory.  Keep in mind that whoever volunteers for the most optional activities will be rewarded in various ways.

• This is a school event, however, transportation is not provided.  The band president will be responsible for keeping track of students that are attending and can assist with carpools.

• Students must be responsible for their own instruments.  The band room will not be open before the game to pick up instruments, so after school, they need to plan accordingly.  This applies to percussion as well.

• Arrive at away game in polo shirts, and wait at the entrance of the visitor’s side of the stadium. 

• Once roll has been taken we enter as a group and set up where host school would like us.

• Pay attention to your student leadership as they will be the ones who understand when and what is appropriate to play.

• Remember, we are there for the football team… not to start any band wars. Be respectful at all times! Cheer for the other band if the school has one during their half-time show.  You might want to bring money for food or bring something for dinner.

• Always travel in groups of 2-3 when visiting the snack shop or the bathroom.

• When the football game ends, students must be picked up by their parents, or with their carpool from the visitor’s side.  Check in with president before you leave. (ride must be present before we give you the okay to leave)

• Arrive at call time in concert attire.  Please check the handbook or ask leadership if you have any questions about the dress code for performances.

• Make sure you have everything you need to perform: music, instrument, etc.

• Arrive and wait for warm up time with group.

• Play pieces for audience and judges.  After each piece there will be time to wait to allow judges to write down comments about performance.

• After performance you will be ushered into either a follow up clinic with one of the judges, or a sight reading session.  You are expected to be on your very best behavior while other people are working with you.

• After session is over, load the busses and go home.

• As soon as we turn onto the 94 freeway, you will be asked to call home to remind your parents to pick you up.  Keep in mind… we need to unload the trailer and keep the band room clean, but at the same time, the staff and chaperone parents do not want to have to wait on you to get picked up.  Please be in constant communication with your parents!

• All students have the option of using school provided attire or may purchase their own.

• *Items marked with an asterisk are provided to the student by Steele Regiment

• Please contact members of leadership if you have any individual questions.  Dress rehearsals will be conducted in dress to approve of concert dress.  Students will not be allowed on stage without the appropriate attire.
