2023 Omaha Marching Invitational (OMI) Field Competition
Remember to wear Blue to show our support for our students, and signup using SignUp Genius so we know our headcount for the day.
Trailer parking will be in the area southeast of the field. Buses will park in the lot east of the trailers. Click here for maps of the site. Spectator parking is west of the football stadium.
We follow Fort Calhoun after lunch and Millard South follows us.
Front Ensemble Warmup is 11:25-11:55 (B) and staging is at 12:15 pm.
Band Warmup is 11:55-12:25 (B) and reports at the gate at 12:35 pm.
Kearney performs at 12:45 pm in the Preliminary Performances.

Note that entrance to this field is similar to KHS, entering from the South.
This is a timed performance, so we need to be efficient when entering and also when exiting we need to get past the South goal line in time. Exiting bands have right of way when clearing the field.
The Pit setup area where the trailers park is on an inclined parking lot. We will need to use our loadlocks to block our cart wheels, etc. We will need trailers unloaded and props assembled before 11:45 so the pit can go to their warmup.
Following the 12:45 pm performance, we will return all equipment and props to the trailer area. We will not reload it all into the trailer as we will perform again in the evening. We will keep it staged in an orderly manner behind the trailers. We should be done with this by 1:15 or so. Then we will need to reconvene toward evening. We will announce that once we know our evening performance time and calculate back to the setup time – I would plan to be back by 5:00 at the latest, unless our time has us adjust accordingly. Call/text Ed 308-440-0694 with questions or to check on the time schedule for the evening.
Thank you for your involvement in the Pit Crew. You are appreciated! If you have any questions prior to the event, please email us.
