8th Grade Band Night-Reminder

Original post: made through LivingTree on 11/4/19

8th grade night is this Thursday, November 7th. This is an amazing and fun opportunity for the 8th graders to experience playing at a Varsity football game with the High School Band.

What is 8th Grade Band Night?

• An opportunity for 8th grade students to experience what it’s like to be in the High School Band.
• Creates friendships that carry on throughout their High School Careers.
• Helps bridge the gap between Junior High and High School Band.
• Students will experience performing on the football field alongside the High School Band.

All eligible 8th graders are expected to be in attendance. This event counts as a performance (test) grade. Ineligible students will need to complete an alternate assignment in order to meet the grade requirement. The only students that are ineligible are those that failed any of their classes on their most recent report card.

Transportation will be provided after school for those students that do not have a ride to the High School. All students must be at the High School Band Hall no later than 5:00pm. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to pick up their child after the game.

Date: THIS Thursday, October 7th

Time (estimate): 5:00pm to 10:30pmish- end time depends on the pace of the game

**Students will be allowed to check out with their parent/guardian when they are finished eating their meal during 3rd quarter.

**Parents/guardians are responsible for picking up their child after the game.

Half time: 8th graders will perform “The Hey Song” on the football field with the HS band

Location: Kemp High School

Attire: Orange Kemp JH Band Polo, blue jeans, and tennis shoes

Tickets: Student entry is FREE. Parents will need to purchase tickets to the game.

Food: The cost is $5 and covers an option of a hamburger/cheeseburger/2 hot dogs, chips, candy, and water. Students wanting to purchase a meal deal will need to turn in an order form. Money is due by Thursday.
