If you have specific questions on meals, please email Meals@grapevinehsband.com.

Q: How will my child get dinner the day of the game?

A: The band boosters will provide meals for every student after school in the SAC before football games

Q: Can my child go home after school before a football game?

A: No, students need to remain on campus, eat the meal provided, and change so they are on time for inspection.

Q: Can I bring my child food in the stands during football games?

A: No-students can not eat in uniform during football games, food can't be brought to them in the stands, and they can't bring food with them.

Q: What time will the football games end?

A: Typically football games last around 3 hours. A kick-off time of 7 PM means an end time around 10 PM. Overtime and style of play will determine the length of the game as well. Departure times from the stadium and estimated return times to GHS will be communicated via SportsYou.

Q: What if my child has early release during 9th period?

A: Students with early release are still provided a meal by the band boosters. If these students wish to opt out of meals they must communicate to the meals coordinator at meals@grapevinehsband.com
