NSBA – West Festival – Kearney High School

Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024

2023: (2024 details will be updated once itinerary is set)
For our KHS Pit Crew: by 7:00 pm please report to the Band room so that by no later than 8:00 we can start and help push equipment to the South end of the school.  We need to have everything at the Pit Area at the South end, ready to go, so we can stage outside the fence at 8:15 pm (we follow GI), on deck at 8:30, and perform at 8:45 pm.  After the performance we will ‘park’ our equipment at the Southwest corner of the track.

After KHS performs, we will participate and have fun with Pit Crew Olympics.  We need to bring several teams to the Olympics.  This is a fun time to cheer on our guests and enjoy the Olympics together. UNK performs at 9:00 before the Pit Olympics, and the Awards are at 9:30 pm

After awards we cleanup and help get our equipment back to the Band room and we also put carts and podiums and uniform carts in the trailer for storage purposes.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Remember to wear BLUE to support our Band.

Also, remember that we represent KHS Band, KHS and the city of Kearney as we host this event.  Help us make our guests feel welcome and help them enjoy their visit.  This is a great event for us to host.

Thank you for all of your help this year.  We appreciate each and every one of you who have helped on the Pit Crew team, if it was for every event or for just one night, you are appreciated very much!

We are hosting NSBA 2023 Kearney!  If you can volunteer to help with hosting, we appreciate your help.  Event volunteers will be able to help with our band pit crew as well.  All bands will have arrived by the time we need to tend to our Band so if you are an event volunteer you can then transition to our Pit Crew team and help with moving our equipment.  To see the Crew schedule, visit:  http://bit.ly/nsba23crew

Pit Crew Olympics

Each school may form as many teams as they desire, but team members may not participate on multiple teams. Teams are made up of 4 or 5 members of Pit Crew volunteers. Be prepared to carry, push, setup, stack, and run to match the best time. Most of all, have fun!
