​

General Etiquette

• Outside food and beverages, except water, are not permitted.

  • Concessions and water refill stations are available. Please stay nourished and hydrated!

• Do not enter, leave, or move around in the stands during performances.

  • This is especially distracting to the band on the field and those around you. Please do that in between performances. The performances are less than 8 minutes. Most competitions will have monitors to prevent exit and entry, including this one. The people asking you to wait at the entrance to the stands are parent volunteers. Please be kind and just wait.

  • Keep walkways, aisles, and stairways clear at all times. Tripods, monopods, or large recording equipment are not allowed in aisles or seating areas where they block views.

• Do not use noisemakers.

  • This is extremely important at all Marching Competitions. They may distract the performers and could even impact a band’s score if the judge is unable to hear the music. Applauding enthusiastically for all bands during a performance is encouraged and may be especially appropriate after a solo or when the band or color guard achieves a particularly striking effect. Music judges are almost always outside of the press box near the center of the stadium. If you are sitting directly below this area, please be extremely aware of your noise level throughout our performance and the entire competition.

• Do not talk in the stands during performance.

  • This is a serious distraction to them and the people around you. Your conversation can wait until a band is not on the field. Remember this is just like a performance at a concert hall. Refraining from conversations during a performance makes it easier for everyone around you to hear what’s coming from the field.

• Please silence your devices.

  • If you receive a call during a performance, please wait until that performance is over before returning the call.

• Respect every band that takes the field.

  • ​We applaud every band that takes the field. Remember, those kids have worked just as hard as your kid, and they all deserve it!

• Keep your comments positive.

  • Even if you didn’t like a band’s performance, remember they’ve worked hard on it. Those other parents around you might be the parents or friends of the kids in the band you were just talking about. Always keep a positive attitude regarding EVERY band. Band is a family, even in competition. Negative comments can reflect poorly on your school’s band program.

• Throw away your trash.

  • We have several trash receptacles locations around our campus. Please use them.
