Senior Night and Double Header FYI

Marching Tiger Families,

We have a busy week!  Friday we have Senior Night at the football game which will change some of our normal Pregame activities and a double competition on Saturday.  I'll go though the FYI for the weekend in chronological order for everyone. 

Senior Night
Senior Parents, your report time to the field is 5:40.  The Athletic Department handout says 5:40 report, I would encourage all the senior parents to be in the stadium by 5:30, just to make sure there is enough time to organize the line-up. When you arrive Lisa Mezquita will be there to help arrange you in alpha order for the presentation of Seniors.  The presentation begins at 6:00pm. The band Seniors will join you at this time as well.  After the senior recognition the seniors will head back to the band room to prepare for Senior Night shenanigans.  The Freshmen-Junior classes will perform the SSB.

Saturday Double Competition
Our two competitions are both North East of Pickerington.  
Competition 1 is at White Field hosted by Newark High School.  N. 11th St. Newark Ohio 43055.  Take note the parking for spectators can get interesting at Newark.  There is handicap parking close to the stadium but the majority of parking is a shuttle from the HS to the stadium.  It is free and runs frequently.  I would allow some additional time to make sure you are not rushed by the shuttle service. 

After Competition 1 we will travel to Dillion State Park.  The boosters rented a shelter house where we will serve a picnic style meal for the kids.  I heard at the booster meeting the donations for this are going well, but please feel free to check with Emily if there are any additional or last minute needs.  Specifically we be at Big Run Shelter House at Dillion State park.  Natural resource Rd 1, Zanesville Ohio, 43701 
Students are encouraged to bring blankets for a picnic, yard games/tailgating games are allowed. We have storage under the semi trailer to house things like corn hole boards and other activities.  (No Lawn darts, please!!!)

Our final stop of the night will be to Tri-Valley High School. This will be our last stop before returning home.  Tri-Valley High School is located at 46 E Muskingum Ave, Dresden, OH 43821 Parking for this competition is much easier on the spectators and honestly has a great viewing point for anyone that can't climb steps.  Spectators enter from the top of the stadium which allows spectators will limited mobility to have a better view of the field from above than other typical stadiums.  Tri-Valley Stadium is on a hillside.
