On Friday, November 5, 2021 Senior band and guard students will be recognized during the HALFTIME portion of the Union H.S. Varsity home football game at Union Tuttle Stadium.

The recognition will take place at approximately 8:15pm. Families should plan to arrive by 7:30pm to prepare for the event.

BEFORE THE RECOGNITION EVENT
Senior band families will meet and line up in alphabetical order (by senior student's last name) 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 pregame 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 shortly before halftime to case and stow instruments, then to join their families in line in the bus loop lobby.

ON THE FIELD

• Each senior's name will be announced over the loudspeaker, along with the names of up to two escorts. Seniors may be accompanied by more than two people (i.e. mother, father, and siblings) but only the names of the senior and up to two of the will be announced aloud. Submit student name and escort(s) names to be read aloud. (Deadline: Monday, November 1 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.  

• At the conclusion of the recognition, all seniors and family members will turn 90 degrees to the right and proceed out of the stadium, exiting at the northwest gate.
