Dress for the weather. In the event of rain we will still play from the stands. (Woodwinds may leave instruments inside as necessary.)

In the event of inclement weather, the competition may be moved to the school's gym (standstill). For light rain we will likely perform outdoors as scheduled.
We will rehearse at school before changing and loading the buses. Wear clothes for an outdoor rehearsal and bring what you need for your uniform. (Marching shoes & long black socks)
Bring a water bottle and money for concessions.
