Freshman Specifics- Regiment
home games
After school, freshmen will take a bus from the Freshman Academy to the High School for rehearsal, which will run until 5:00 pm. After rehearsal, they'll store their instruments and head to dinner provided by Feed the Band, with water available.
At 5:45 pm, students will change into their uniforms. Adults will be available to assist if needed. Then, they'll gather in Band Room One for a quick meeting and warm-ups.
Once warm-ups are complete, students will move to the band section of the stadium for the game. Water will be available throughout the game, but please note that eating in uniform is not permitted.
During halftime, they will perform and then return to the stands. After the game, students will return to the band building to store their uniforms and instruments before checking in with their section leader for dismissal.
After the game, all high school band & guard students are invited to a private pizza party at CiCi’s! Click HERE for more info.
After school, freshmen will take the bus from the Freshman Academy to the High School. Once there, they'll change into their uniforms, grab their instruments, and board their assigned buses.
Feed the Band will provide a meal and water as students board. They will then travel to the game and sit in the stands. Water will be available throughout the game, and students will receive a snack at halftime.
After the game, students will board the bus again, receive another snack, and return to the High School. Please note that males and females will not be permitted to sit together after dark.
Upon returning to the High School, students will store their instruments in the band building and be dismissed by their section leader.
Please do not park in the bus loop. For the safety of our students, trucks, and buses, the bus loop must remain clear after the game.
away games
tent city/ local contests
Contest days can be long, so we set up "Tent City" at local contest sites to make them easier for everyone.
Students will arrive at the high school at the designated time for rehearsal and lunch. Section Parents, along with any other parents who can arrive early, are encouraged to help set up Tent City at the contest site. Tents, chairs, and blankets will be set up to give students and adults a place to rest between prelims and finals.
When students arrive, they may have some downtime before their first performance. Tent City is the perfect spot to relax. Students will spend their non-performing time here, where meals and snacks will also be provided.
Parents and adults are welcome to visit, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere. Meals and snacks will be provided for staff, students, chaperones, and key volunteers by UBPC.
Please buy your tickets before the prelim performance to ensure you don't miss anything, as entry to the stands is not allowed while a band is performing.
After finals and the results, students will load the truck and buses to return to the high school. They will need to unload everything before being dismissed.
