  • Band will clear the field and support senior recognition from the sideline between the 40 year lines.

• After all the seniors have been recognized the non-senior woodwinds and brass need to move the props back to storage.  Non-senior Front Ensemble will be responsible for cleaning up and putting away the FE equipment.
