Game Tips
- Feed your kids before a game or marching event. Students will know ahead of time if a meal is going to be provided.
- If your child must eat something, send a snack for on the bus that can be eaten without their jacket on.
- Don't leave till it's over. Your suuport is noticed by your kids!
- Don't wear orange on Halloween when we play Rockwall.
- And most importantly - NEVER think you can make it to the restroom at half-time - You are sure to miss the best part of the game.
- Please keep moving…in the walkway between the stands at Eagle stadium. It is very congested and it stresses out volunteers :(
- Do not try to go up into the stands to talk with your child at a game. It will embarrass your child and they will act like they don't know you.
- If you have season tickets and do not use them for a game (or decide to chaperone instead or illness), consider offering them up to a band parent.
- If you want season tickets for home games you have to buy them in the summer (if you can). Call the athletic office for details.
- Students are not allowed to go to the concession stand at games! No concession food at games. Parents cannot take food to your child.
- Be prepared to get food on the way home after a game. Kids are always starved after a band event.
- Please check periodically for equipment. (Reeds, valve oil, white tee shirts, sox, uniform cleaned)
- Avoid sending gum, chewy or chocolate candy to football games. (Candy may be "banned" at any time)
- If "stuff" gets left on a bus, the chaperones check the buses after games and put items in the lost & found box, of sorts, in the band hall
- Hours for the Athletics center where we buy game tickets. M-THR 8-4:30, FRI 8-4 (personally I would get there by 4, since they close early sometimes depending on staffing)
- If we're sitting on the 'sunny' side (facing West) of Texas Stadium (any stadium actually) be sure to wear a visor and bring something to fan yourself with.
- Encourage your student to be careful with his/her instrument when not playing it both at rehearsal, and at games! Be careful of OTHERS equipment as well.
