Make sure you have everything with you BEFORE we leave for the Pumpkinfest Parade. Students will be changing into their uniforms at the school and then riding buses down to the football field to get ready for the parade. As soon as we finish performing in the parade we will load the buses for Cedar Rapids.
Remember to bring black socks! Also, jewelry is not allowed when you are in your marching uniform. If you cannot remove an article of jewelry, you must cover it up with a band-aid. Make sure you bring warm clothing to change into after we are done performing.
If you are planning to ride home from the competition with your parents, let me know no later than THURSDAY (9/30). If I do not receive a note, plan on riding the bus back to Anamosa.
After our performance, the trailer will need to be loaded before you change out of your uniform. Once the trailer is loaded, you may then change out of your uniform and reenter the contest to watch the rest of the 3A and 4A bands. This is a great opportunity to watch and listen to other groups! Please be a respectful audience and remember that you are representing Anamosa at all times.
Let’s continue have a great performance on Saturday! Stay focused, keep the energy level up, and sell the show!
