PARENTS! IMPORTANT! SAFETY FIRST! During marching season and after certain late night returns, we are going to barracade off and ask that you PLEASE do not use the five to seven parking spots closest to the driveway up to the band room door, and along the curb closest to the portables when you come to pick up your students after a game or competition. We need to keep that area clear for either the semi to use to manuever around in, or for a safe bus unloading zone. Remember, the driver of the truck often has to be back at 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. the very next morning to haul our band equipment to an out of town competition. We need to be considerate, and literally give him extra space. There have been many times the driveway to the bandroom was being blocked by parents sitting in their cars waiting for thier kids after a game and they didn't even move when they saw the truck backing up towards them!! So, now we are asking that you do not park anywhere in the general area. Click on the cone & barricade icon for a visual of these zones.
