AZ Cardinals Performance Update

We are officially performing on September 14^th for the AZ Cardinals Game! Transportation will be provided for the band to and from the event. Attached to this email you will find the itinerary for the day of. I have also attached a map of where the band will be doing the parade and where the main performance will be located. The parade will begin around the stadium at 11:30am. Our lawn performance will be from 12:00-12:15pm. Students should plan on wearing SM Gear, bringing water, and all the equipment they would need for a game day performance. The stadium does have a clear bag policy. Please ensure that you plan in case you would like to bring anything inside the stadium. Students should plan to bring money in order to purchase lunch at the stadium. In regard to the tickets purchased we did our best to keep all family tickets together. We are still waiting to receive them from the cardinals and then we will have our booster board sent them your way. Make sure to wear your purple gear to support the students on the day of. Go Cardinals!
