Football Game and Halftime – Westside
Thank you to everyone who has been helping on the Pit Crew. We’re glad you’re on the team. We have another football game and halftime performance on Friday, October 6, 2023.
We will need a dozen people to help with the Pit Crew for each game and each competition. Please be sure to sign up with SignUp Genius so we can keep an accurate headcount.
Specific instrument and equipment line-ups, as well as trailer loading details, can be found under the Football page with the whole game plan for the evening.
After the game, please bring the Sousa stands to the trailer ASAP. We also need all stands and equipment returned to the trailer. We are loading the trailer for the trip to GI, so everything needs to come to the drive by the library so we can have it all loaded
We do not unload at the HS as we will leave for GI in the morning.
Thank you for helping with the Pit Crew. Remember to wear blue. If you have any questions before the game, please email us.
