All other outside spaces will be posted as “No Warm-Up / Quiet Zones”. Twirling warm-up will take place in the LHS “Silver Gym”.

INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT: Participants are responsible for providing all instruments and equipment. We have a limited number of chairs for the performers. Spectators are welcome to bring their own chairs if needed.

NO MUSIC STANDS WILL BE PROVIDED. Participants must provide their own music stand - MR. G WILL HAVE WIRE STANDS AT THE CONTEST.

RECORDED OR ELECTRONICALLY-GENERATED ACCOMPANIMENTS: Recorded or electronically-generated accompaniments may be used. Students must provide their own equipment and should activate the system prior to entering the room to prevent any delays in the contest schedule.

BUSES & TRAILERS: Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up by BUS will be in the back of Lehman High School (accessible along Bunton Creek Road near the Dollar General) where there is a bus loop available in the driveway. Equipment Trailers may pull through the drive between the UIL Staff Parking and the Spectator Parking to load/unload. After drop-off, buses and trailers will be directed to the Lehman Athletic Complex parking lot, located in the back of the LHS campus. A golf cart shuttle will be available to bring you to and from this lot, as needed. Students and directors will access buses by exiting the back of the LHS Cafeteria.

PERSONAL VEHICLE PARKING: Parking for all students and spectators will be offered in the student parking lot and the Auditorium parking lot at the corner of Lehman Road and Bunton Creek Road. Please note: The Main Office parking area is very limited and is strictly reserved for UIL event judges, vendors, and staff. Carpooling for both students and spectators is highly encouraged - Overflow parking (if needed) is at the Hays CISD Academic Support Center (21003 S IH35, Kyle, TX 78640). A shuttle to campus is not provided from this location.

ENTRY TO CAMPUS: For your safety and convenience, we will have two primary entrances to the building open. All participants will be required to enter through either the front or rear cafeteria entrances, located in black fenced in area along the front office parking area or nearest to the rear bus loop driveway. Once participants have checked in, student guides and parent volunteers will be able to assist student performers in finding their designated performance areas. It is important that all students, directors and spectators stay within the designated areas and respect the LHS facilities.

FOOD: The LHS Boosters will be selling a variety of food and drink items throughout the day in the cafeteria, as well as having food truck vendors on site. Accepted forms of payment: Cash, Card and Apple Pay.
