Good afternoon,

Just a heads up for those that may be using this route to get to rehearsals; September 3rd - November 30, Penryn Road between Secret Ravine Rd. and Penryn Plaza will be closed for construction.  

Here are the details for the performance tomorrow night! 

Time:  5pm through the end of halftime
Location:  Meet at the Del Oro Band Room - the kids will march down to the stadium with the high school band after warm-ups.
Attire:  All Black.  If they have a band polo from last year, they can wear it.  If not any plain black shirt is fine.  Plain black pants, black socks, and black shoes. Other colors show up really obviously on the field with socks and shoes so I will have black duct tape on hand to cover anything that will stand out. 

After playing the pregame show, our band will join the Del Oro Band in the stands for pep tunes during the first half of the game.   They will be dismissed after DO plays their halftime show.  If you would like me to release your child to go sit in the stands with family or friends at that time, please let me know ahead of time.  Those whose parents do not give me permission to do that will be walked back to the band room immediately after halftime for pick up.  

I told the kids today to make sure they eat before arriving at Del Oro as there is no time between arrival and halftime for them to do so.  If they have a small snack to keep in a pocket, that's fine but they will not be given time to visit concessions until after dismissal.  I also encouraged them to bring a water bottle as it can get really hot and they stand for a substantial amount of time at this performance.  There will be some of the water bottles that are made for athletes to share that will be passed around once they are in the stands, but having their own for before that time is useful.  If they can label their water bottle with their name or other distinguishing feature, it will help them identify it when they come off the field to retrieve it from the sidelines. 

This is a really fun and mostly relaxed performance so I look forward to seeing everyone who can make it!

Thank you,

Emily Kuersten
