CSBC Competition at Bellflower HS

Note: Event is hosted by Mayfair but takes place at Bellflower High School.

Preparation:

1. Please be sure your student gets plenty of sleep/rest Friday night.
2. Students are to arrive at calltime dressed (to be worn under uniforms): black t-shirt, athletic shorts, black crew socks, marching band shoes.
3. Students will need to bring their show shirt and long jeans (dark blue or black) to be worn after the performance.
4. Students will need to bring sunscreen and stay hydrated.  It’s projected to be 89 degrees in Bellflower on Saturday.
5. Students will not have time to purchase snack bar items so, in addition to breakfast, we will provide a snack after their performance.
6. If a student has to leave after the performance, please let Mr. Smith know.

It takes a village to ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible for everyone. Please continue reading important information…..

Donations needed:

We are in need of food donations.  These food donations need to be non-sugary food items such as bagels, granola bars, and fruit.  We also need donations of Gatorade and water.

• Remember we are supplying snacks and drinks for 80+ people (students, Mr. Smith, and coaches).  Snacks and drinks can be dropped off on Friday before or after the football game or at calltime on Saturday.  We also accept monetary donations for these items.

Volunteers needed:

• We will need help loading the truck with equipment & props at North, unloading & reloading at Bellflower HS, and then unloading again at North.  If you can help with any or all of these, please sign-up.
• We will need help moving pit equipment, drum major podiums, etc. from the staging area to the field for the performance and back after performance (same as is done for football games).

Some things to consider for parents & students:

• You do not need to have experience to volunteer!  There will be other parents on hand to show you what needs to be done.
• There is an entrance fee for all competitions.  Per the CSBC website, Saturday’s competition is $10 for general admission, $8 for senior citizens/veterans/students with ID, and free for children 5 and under.  All performing students are exempt from the fee.
• If you volunteer on competition day by loading/unloading, moving equipment, etc., it’s possible you will not have to pay the entrance fee but not guaranteed.  Details will be explained on comp day.
• Be sure students have all uniform requirements listed above on comp day.  Judges will deduct points from the performance if students are not wearing the required shoes, socks, etc.
