Week 4 @ Logan High School

Good Morning Marching Tiger Families, 

Thank you all for being flexible with last Friday's weather delay.  The band had a great time and the weather was great after the storm rolled through.  

This Friday is our first away game, as parent and student this simply means our game day routine/pre planning needs to be streamlined.  There won't be time to run home to get snacks/change/run to Circle K.  Students need to bring their uniform pieces and items for the bus trip to school that morning.  Away games are long days... 

Band Fest Tickets
Due to this being our 50th anniversary of the Pickerington Band Festival we are expecting a sell out!  Tickets links have been floating around for a few days and we have already sold quite a bit of tickets for the event.  Please plan ahead and purchase your tickets today, as the link will be shared with other participating schools tomorrow!   Click the button below and use code:PickBandFam to get early access.

​Bus assignments & Expectations
I will post bus sign-ups today in class, students are to select their bus wisely.  We will not be bus hopping or changing buses mid season.  This is your assigned bus for the duration of Marching Band. 

Students are more than welcome to bring their headphones, this is encouraged as bluetooth speakers or cell phone speakers are not allowed to be used on the buses.  Yelling and shouting profanities are also not permitted.   Technically Petermann (the bus company) has a no food policy, most drivers understand the circumstances, please listen to your driver and be wise about what you might pack as a quick snack.  (Don't make messes and clean up after yourself) 

If you forget anything on the bus at the end of the night, the directors have no control over the bus company.  Students and families will have to contact Petermann to make plans to recover lost items. 

We are guests of Petermann while in transit, we all must abide by their rules and regulations. 

Uniform update
The uniform mom's have done a great job helping students learn how to fold and hang uniforms correctly! (you might not understand how much of an accomplishment for some of our members, but it is!)  The current issues we face regarding uniforms involves hair dye and face paint.  Face paint is not permitted when in uniform. It gets on hands which then touch the uniforms and stains the jackets and white portions of our uniforms.  Hair dye is also getting transferred onto the uniforms around the neck.  If you have long hair and have hair dye, this must be addressed.  Wear a head band or if it is passed the jaw line your hair must be up anyway.  Please correct this for this week!

Volunteers
Nurses and bus chaperones are expected to ride the bus and will double as our field help at away games.  The lead chaperone and nurse are the only ones who must ride bus 1, all others are free to choose your bus. 

The dads who help load the equipment trucks are not required to ride the buses, but if they are an approved volunteer they are more than welcome to hop on an open bus.  

Chaperones will take attendance as students enter the bus and make sure the buses are cleared at the end of the night.  I will provide the rosters for each bus.  I only ask that you help with the head count for each bus as this is the information Petermann must have before pulling away.
