Travel
Since the band is a part of the entire school system, we
will operate within the rules set down by the school district with
a few additions of our own. A student may return from a football
game with his parents (NOT with grandparents, other relatives, or
other student's parents). At the END of the game(or other event),
his/her parent must come to the head chaperone and personally take
the child. The parent also signs a release form at that time. All
band members will travel TO out- of- town ball games and other
events on the band buses.
No external speaker radios, stereos or ice chests are permitted
on the buses. Respect for chaperones is expected from all band
members. Disrespect or not obeying the instructions of chaperones
will result in penalties being issued to the student. All school
rules apply when traveling with the band.
