Tuesday, June 3:
- Sound Check:
  - Seniors: Bring your instruments and music to the stadium for graduation practice and leave them on the stage so they are ready to go for the sound check.
  - Non-seniors: we will meet in P2 when school begins and then spend our final time setting up.
  - We’ll start as soon as the grad practice concludes (probably between 11am and Noon) and finish as soon as we and the sound technicians are comfortable.
- Pre-Ceremony Performance:
  - Call Time: 6:00pm @ BHS Bandroom to rehearse for Concert Band (Seniors 6:38pm @ BHS Bandroom). Don’t be late. Leave extra time for busy parking lots and to set up for Concert Band.
  - Perform 7:00pm-7:40pm. After this, seniors will join the processional and non-seniors will join the concert band.
  - Clean-up: After the ceremony, all non-seniors will help return all jazz equipment to P2.

Report Time: 6:00pm
Students with immediate family members graduating: If you have an immediate family member graduating this year, you may be excused from performing with the band so that you may sit with your family. Please speak with a director if this applies to you. All other 9th-11th grade students in Symphonic Band and Wind Symphony are required to attend.
We will finish between 9:45pm~10:00pm. We need to clean everything up and return to the bandroom. Please make sure you have a ride arranged between 10:15pm~10:30pm
