12:30am Arrive University High School --- PUT EQUIPMENT AWAY
Students are to bring an assigned pot-luck dish to rehearsal for lunch as well as money for a concessions-style dinner ($10 would be more than enough). Students are instructed to call home as we approach UHS. Please remember that we have to put equipment away as soon as we arrive. If a student hasn’t taken care of the $25 competition/bus fee by this day, they will not be allowed to go to the competition. The more parents that help with equipment, the sooner students can go home!

POT-LUCK LUNCH ITEMS FOR SEMINOLE SOUND To ensure that all students eat a good meal on competition days, we have a pot-luck style lunch. To make this a success, we need all students to participate in bringing in their favorite dishes.

Brass: Main Dishes
Woodwinds: Side Dishes
Percussion: plates, napkins, eating utensils
Guard: desserts
