7:30 am Wake up time. Eat breakfast, and put on your long black socks and Band T-shirt. We will put on uniforms when we get to the school.

Field Commanders will accept trophies, and need to be in the southwest corner of the endzone by 3:15. (According to the info I received from this contest, this is what this particular contest specifies: just Field Commanders accepting awards) Everyone must be back inside the stadium by 3:15.

3:30 pm Award Ceremony. We will clap and support everyone as the awards are handed out. There will be absolutely no booing or loud negative responses.
