8:20 am                Depart South Gibson County High School.

8:50 am                Arrive at Trenton.  We will need to exit the buses quickly so the buses can move to the end of the parade route.  Unload instruments quickly and put jackets, hats, and gauntlets on as you go to warm-up circle.

9:10 am                Warm-up

9:40 am                Line-up in parade form and wait to join the parade route.

Approx. 12:00    End of parade.  Students will put instruments back in cases, put full uniform on the hangers, and then load the instruments on the bus.  I will need to attend the Director’s meeting after the parade.  You may get something to eat down on the parade route.

12:45 pm              Depart Trenton. 

1:15 pm                Arrive at SGCHS Band room.  Take the uniforms back to the storage room, then unload the instruments off the bus.  No one is dismissed until all the instruments are in their correct place and the bus is cleaned out.

* If you are leaving with your parents after the parade is over, I will need a note signed by the parent.
