Here is the student schedule for the Carl Junction Marching Festival from Mr. Schneider.
Post #2 for today. Here is the schedule for the band students for the CJ marching festival on 9/17. The student volunteer work sign-ups are in the band room. Please see Jennifer Page's post from yesterday about parent sign-ups. We have 16 bands with approximately 1400 students PLUS parents and spectators. This is a huge event for our school and it takes the power of all to make it work. We ALWAYS have great response from the bands on how great our parents and students are in running the festival. Thank you in advance for your help. Again, here is the students performance information(worker times vary through the day and night).
Carl Junction Marching Festival- CJ Band itinerary 2022
Whatever you signed up to do, please arrive at least 30 minutes ahead to check-in and get to your location. Check-in is at the concession stand. They will give you a ticket to pay for one meal at the concession stand(not Chick-fil-A). Band guides find your bands 30-60 minutes before they go to warm-ups in case, they need direction on bathrooms and such.
Work the shift that you signed up to do. Please be helpful wherever you can! I would rather have more people helping than not enough!
