We have our second HOME football game this Friday, and we are planning to wear FULL UNIFORMS for the first time! Our call time on Friday is 5:00pm, when we'll meet on the practice lot for warm-up and a run-through of the halftime show prior to changing into uniforms and inspection.


For performances in full uniform, band students must have:

    • UG shorts & shirt
    • Long black socks
    • Black uniform shoes (shoes ordered prior to last week will be distributed before Friday)
    • Long hair pulled up (see tutorial videos in the Gameday Checklist below)


As a reminder, no meal is provided for students prior to home football games. Students and their families should ensure that they have a dinner plan in place. Please review the Itinerary and Gameday Checklist below to ensure you are ready for Friday evening!


Adding to the fun for this game, we will be joined by band and colorguard students from Clark, Mattei, and Southard Middle Schools for 8th Grade Band & Colorguard Night. Let's be great hosts and show them what Friday nights are all about!

Itinerary: Princeton vs Plano East
