Padres Game Monday, 9/23/13

The National Anthem will be performed by our very our Band and Color Guard at the Padres game Monday night.  All Band and Color Guard students need to meet at school by 4:15pm.  Band will be in Class B attire: Blue polo shirts, black pant, black socks, and marching shoes. Color Guard needs to be in their white M shirts, black pants, and white shoes. All girls (band or guard) will have the hair pulled back in a ponytail.

We will travel by bus to the game and back to the high school in the evening.  The approximate time for return is 9:15pm. Please allow time for the students to retrieve their things from the Band room, so 9:30 pick up should be enough time (unless of unforeseen issues arise with our transportation).

Thank you to everyone for supporting the Sapphire Sound! If you are attending the game, please remember to give yourself enough time to travel and park.  We don't want you to miss our performance. The time we have been given to play the National Anthem is around 6:45pm.
