!!!Other Information

!Upper Level Judging Area- the upper level of the stadium is reserved for judging. We have this area marked with caution tape. In the past we have had parents and students enter this area on their own, going past the caution tape. Please assist us by instructing parents/students to stay away from this area. !Finals Retreat- If your band is in finals, be prepared to march your band into the stadium in a parade block no wider than five yards. I suggest if you have a banner, have the banner at the front of your band. !American Flag & Honor Guard- we will not have a performance of the National Anthem at retreat so there is no need to bring an American Flag and honor guard. !Repair Van- Graner Music will provide instrument repair service. This repair service will be located near the band warmup areas. !Directors and staff- are invited into the lower level of the press box to view other performances. Admittance to this area is limited to those with director, staff or guest passes. Joe Brice will be the host. !Spectator Entrance- the main entrance for the general public is through gate 3 at the south end of the stadium. This is also where the ticket booth is located. !Spectator Parking- there will not be a parking fee charged. Handicapped parking is available as marked on the map. !Pit/Prop Crews- we appreciate your limiting the number of parents helping with pit and props. Any abuse of this practice will result in extra parents being asked to leave the area. Prop building area will be determined by CBA parking staff. It will be toward the SE corner of Lot 5 where buses and equipment vehicles will be parked. !

Group Pictures- LifeTouch Photography will be the official group photographer. All groups are required to take a group photo after quarterfinals and semifinals. !Quarterfinals and Semifinals Awards- this will be a retreat for drum major only. They should be in uniform. Color guard captions, percussion captains are not allowed to participate in this retreat. !Emergency Services- There is an ambulance available 24/7 on the Academy grounds. If a Medical emergency occurs, call 911 and tell the dispatcher that you are on the grounds of the Air Force Academy. Give an exact location so the ambulance can find you, ie Lot 5 north of the stadium. !Bus/Truck Parking (LOT 5)- no private vehicles will be allowed in this area for the safety of students. Please plan with your boosters accordingly. !Cooking, Food Serving Area (LOT 4)- we will use the designated cooking area for any cooking vehicles, serving of meals, etc. Discuss this with your booster groups. Please no charcoal barbeques as required by USAFA. Entrance into Lot 4 should be from Stadium Blvd. Use the area to the northwest in Lot 4 with dumpsters, porta potties, etc. Please keep vehicles that are not directly related to cooking, serving food out of this area to ensure safety of the students. !Porta Potties and Trash- there will be porta potties in the bus parking area and some in the cooking food serving area. There will be large dumpsters nearby in the food area. !Warm Up Areas- there are two areas labeled A & B on the map for music warm up. You will have 30 minutes in this area. There is a designated body warm up area as well. Please depart the warm up areas on time as the time for the next group starts at your departure time. Please do not use Long Rangers, metronomes, woodblocks, etc. !Percussion and Color Guard Warmup- there are designated areas for batteries, front ensembles and color guard warm up prior to the designated group warm up times for music and body. There are no set times for using these areas. Refer to the map for these locations. These

two areas are the only locations where this will be allowed. Please inform your percussion and color guard staff where these locations are. Percussion sections and color guards warming up who are not in the designated areas will be asked to stop and to move. Please do not use Long Rangers, metronomes, woodblocks, etc. !Front Ensemble- please allow extra time for your front ensemble to travel to the stadium entrance. It is a considerable distance from the designated warm areas. I suggest they start moving to the stadium by 30 minutes prior to your performance time. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
