[News] Waukee Warrior Regiment - Roadie Report for Sept 27, 2006 - Homec oming Parade / Football Game Schedule

[Meyer, Doug]

Last Saturday was the busy and full day with the Cedar Rapids Lin-Mar and
Cedar Rapids Prairie contests, where the Warrior Regiment received 5th Place
in both contests and also received the Drum Major caption award at the
Prairie contest.  The weather was pretty good most of the time, but we did
get a little damp at Prairie during warm-up, but it stopped when it was time
for the Regiment to take the field. 

Events this week:

Thursday, September 28, 2006  Homecoming Parade - grades 9 - 12

  4:30 pm  Load percussion and large instruments on the truck at the High

the end of the 
           parade.  Cost is $5.00 for Adults and $3.00 for students.  The

  6:30 pm  Regiment is to be ready and outside for warm up 
  7:00 pm  Regiment troops over to the football field. Parents are invited
to make a
              tunnel as the band crosses Ashworth and cheer them on! (This
also stops the 
              traffic to get the Regiment across the street.) 


Friday night Performance will include: 
  Pre-game
  Halftime,  Waukee Warrior Regiment 2006 marching show "Jekyll and Hyde"


Helpers are needed after Pre-game and again before and after half time to
assist with plumes.  Equipment people are needed to unload the truck at the
football field, and then to roll the equipment into the pit area as the band
takes the field for the halftime show.  (This is good practice as we prepare
for contests.)

After the halftime show, equipment roadies load the truck, then head back to
the band room to unload.  Uniform roadies go to the school and assist with
getting uniforms checked in.
