SHOW TIME!!!

Hey Band! (hey what?)

It's time for our first performance of the year  - yay! Here's what you need to know:
  • Call time for MB is 5:30
  • Call time for everyone else is 5:45
  • Dress for the evening is pep shirt, marching shoes, and pants (jeans, for example)
  • Don't have marching shoes? Make sure your shoes are close-toed types [athletic shoes are a good choice]
PLEASE make sure you eat well and hydrate tonight and tomorrow. This is essential!

And for those who aren't sure what will happen, here's the nitty gritty:
  • Pit loads
  • Band warms up
  • Everyone lines up and marches in
  • We create the tunnel for the team to run through (not sure what that means? Don't worry - just follow the person in front of you)
  • Fight Song, then Banner
  • We move to the stands and pep, pep, pep for the team
  • Partway through 2nd quarter, we move down from the stands and warm up (pit moves to the north sideline)
  • MB lines up to take the field; Pep Band moves in behind
  • MB presents show opener and helicopters to the back hash when done; Pep Band runs out to join
  • Band plays Hey Baby! and Fight Song for Tigerettes
  • Band gathers in the south endzone - plays Fight Song when team runs out
  • Short break during the beginning of 3rd quarter - eat cheese!
  • More pep, pep, pep
  • Tigard wins and we play Celebration!
  • Band lines up on field and we march out
  • Everyone meets in the band room (Parents, please wait outside - the room's too small to invite everyone in. Thanks!) A few minutes of chatting, then put things away
  • AND, go home! 
Got it? Good! Now, go get some rest - we've got a big day ahead of us!
