DCI Pointers From Mr. Square

Band … Now read this!!

Please read the information that Mrs. Hooper posted, concerning Dress Code for Camp.

Here are more details for Monday’s Field trip to Lafayette:

1.    Closed toe shoes for safety, Fingertip tip length shorts/skirt/kilt, a “PONCHATOULA” identifiable shirt (fully constructed!!), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, highly recommended!

2.    I know full well that you will bring your CELL PHONE! Please leave your other techno-fabulous AT HOME, as we (the band) and I (as director) will not be responsible when you ‘misplace” your stuff!! And don’t sit there texting/talking while a performance is going on!! RUDE!!

3.    Eat a good, full meal BEFORE you show up to the Bandroom. You may bring a “DRY SNACK” for the bus ride.

4.    MONEY! How much and for what? You will need to bring some money for dinner/concessions at the stadium. Cajun Field serves burgers and dogs, nachos, and such. Sorry1 no sushi! You might want to get a souvenir patch, t-shirt, program, etc. Budget your dollars and be responsible.

5.    Transportation: All current band students will ride the yellow hound express. It will be a tight fit! Mr. LaBee, from Hammond High, has offered to help with overflow, as he may have some extra seats on his bus. Be sure to thank him!

6.    The list below is the lineup for the show, in REVERSE order. We will see whoever is at Cajun Field when we get there, and for sure watch Louisiana Stars go through warm-up before the show starts! Then we’ll hustle into our seats!
