Last Minute Reminders for State Competition

Are you ready?! Here are some last minute reminders.
  1. Please remember that the students need to be at the school by 8:00 AM on Friday for bag check.
  2. Please review the rules and policies that we emailed out a few days ago.
  3. Directions for all venues are available in the band room.
  4. If you are traveling separate from us, please remember that admission at Prelims will be $14.00 and Finals will be $20.00. Parking at prelims will be free however, parking at Finals will be $15.00. All of these fees are cash only. Please note that there have never been convenient ATMs close to these sites, so be sure to bring sufficient cash with you.
  5. Video taping is not allowed at either site, sorry. Still photos are fine.
  6. No outside food or drink will be permitted inside the stadium at either site. Bags will be subject to search, especially at Tropicana Field.
  7. Students should pack a lunch for Friday and they should bring plenty of snacks and drinks. All drinks must be in a sealed container. We will not allow their normal drink jugs. We will provide plenty of water and gatorade throughout the day on Friday and Saturday (donations of 1/2 pint size bottles of water, and individual bottles of gatorade would be most appreciated).
  8. Students will need to have money for Dinner for both Friday and Saturday and also lunch on Friday. They may pack extra food if they like. We will provide extra ice for student coolers. Breakfast will be provided by the hotel Saturday morning at the hotel.
  9. We will return to GHS at about 2:30 AM on Sunday Morning. Please be here to pick up your student on time.
If you are coming down for the performances, it is your duty to scream and cheer and lose your minds while the kids are on the field. They feed off of your energy. Make it feel like Showcase!!!
If you have any questions, please email today and we will get back to you by tonight (Thursday). We will not be able to answer email questions once we leave GHS tomorrow (Friday).
