DETAILS
Attendance at pep band performances is mandatory and assessed for a grade in each student's band class.
Student performance attire is the UNION BANDS member shirt, jeans, & sneakers. Students may wear a jacket to/from the UMAC, but during game time the member shirt must be visible.
Call time is always 6:00pm, in the UHS band room, after which students will move as a group to the UMAC.
The Varsity Ladies game begins at 6:30pm, and the Men’s game begins at 8:00pm.
Students will be given a break in between the games to use the bathroom, purchase concessions, etc.
9:30pm is the approximate finish/release time, depending on the length of the game.
All students should have departed from campus or been picked up by 10:15pm
PROCEDURAL
Be ready to play on short notice. We generally play ONLY during time-outs (some are 30 seconds, some are 60) and at the end of quarters.
Be ready to STOP playing on short notice; we cannot play while the game clock is in motion, so watch for the possibility that a directors cuts off the music midstream.
Use the restroom at the appointed times (halftimes and between games), as you won't be permitted to do so otherwise.
If getting a ride home from a parent, etc., call or send them a message during the 4th quarter of the men's game. NOTE: if the game nears the end with a close score, it might take a long time for the game to actually conclude.
