On Thursday, November 2, 2023 Union Senior band and guard students will be recognized during the halftime portion of the Union H.S. Varsity home football game at Union Stadium.
The recognition will take place at approximately 8:15pm, pending the running time of the game.
BEFORE THE RECOGNITION EVENT
Senior band families will meet and line up in alphabetical order (by senior student's last name) beginning at 7:30pm in the Union H.S. Bus Loop Lobby (the tall glass-walled building along the east face of Union H.S.).
Each senior/family will be assigned a specific location to be occupied during the halftime recognition. A map of the assigned locations will be issued to each family prior to entering the stadium.
Senior students will be dismissed from the bleachers or RRegiment warm-up shortly before halftime to join their families in line in the bus loop lobby.
ON THE FIELD
Each senior's name and the names of up to two of his/her/their parent(s) /guardian(s) will be announced over the loudspeaker. Seniors may be accompanied on the field by additional guests (family members, close friends), but only the names of the senior & up to two parent(s)/guardian(s) will be announced aloud. Register below by Monday, October 30 by 11:00pm.
Before entering the field, Seniors will each be given a rose to carry. When the student's name is announced, traditionally the student hands the rose to their mother or other special loved one.
While on the field, our designated band photographer will snap a quick picture, so please squeeze together, look forward and smile! Pictures will be available for free download here within approximately one week following the event.
