FULL ITINERARY

Remember the following:
*  Students will need to be wearing their 2017 band t-shirt, athletic shorts, black socks, and their band shoes upon their arrival before the call time - wearing a jacket or sweatpants over these items is fine

*  Please bring $$ for lunch at the concession stands.  $8-12 should be an appropriate amount.  Whatachicken sandwiches will be provided for dinner.  If you do not want this provided meal, please make arrangements to bring something else to eat for dinner.

*  Plan on bringing a change of clothes to wear on the bus ride home.  

*  Hair will not need to be done in the morning, but WILL need to be done before we arrive at Jacksonville University.  Plan accordingly.

*  Any family/friend member traveling separately from the band will need to purchase a ticket to enter the competition.  Tickets at the gate are $10 each, cash only.  Remember that our scheduled performance time is 4:15p.
