Center Grove High School Marching Band Cavalcade of Champions October 10, 2015 Thank you for including the 31 st annual Cavalcade of Champions in your band s fall schedule. Times, maps and general information are included in this communication to help your day run smoothly. The Center Grove High School Band and Trojan Band Boosters look forward to Cavalcade as an opportunity to provide quality evaluation for your program and serve you, your program and your parents. If you have further questions or comments, please contact us through the music office at 317.881.0581, ext 4190 (Renee Skipper). All maps and contest schedules will also be available on www.centergrovebands.com under the Cavalcade tab. Arrival Please do not plan to arrive more than two hours before your performance time. If your setup or travel plans have you arriving prior to this time, just let us know so we can have your guide and the parking volunteers prepared. After you are parked, your band hosts will meet you near your buses. They will be with your band until you return to the buses following your performance. Center Grove volunteers will stamp your students hands at this time for access to the performance area. The hosts will have your final packet with last minute reminders and information, 12 staff wristbands, 24 field staff wristbands, chaperone wristbands, and bus and truck driver wristbands. Field wristbands must be visible when entering the stadium. Director Check-In Check-In will be located in the ticket booth at the north end of the stadium. Please check-in when you arrive. Parking Information All buses will park in Lot A or Lot B (see map) immediately east of the high school. All buses, prop or equipment trailers, and one director vehicle will be parked in the same lot. Access to these lots will be from Stones Crossing Road. Volunteers will direct and assist all vehicles with parking. Restrooms Students may use the visitor concession stand restrooms or port-o-lets located in the bus/semi Lots A & B. Hospitality Hospitality for competing directors, staff, and drivers will be located through Door #9 to the Hall of Excellence, across from the football field. Staff and driver wristbands must be visible for admission to this area. Warm-up No playing outside of the music warm-up area. Physical warm-up is located close to the stadium. So, please prepare how to warm-up your students with minimal sound. (No amplified sounds or sounds that would be heard in the stadium) Please check the map area assigned to your ensemble. There is a separate guard warm-up available during your music warm-up. It s recommended that your guard is either in front or to the right side of your band when transiting to music warm-up. The warm-up pattern has been established to minimize travel time and to be consistent with the ISSMA Regional flow that will happen the following weekend. Equipment & Electrical Power Any motorized vehicle that will come into contact with the performance field or surrounding sideline area must be diapered so no chemical leakage will come in contact with the field turf or track. Electrical power via one extension cord will be available on the front sideline of the performance field.
