Senior Night Timeline: Friday, October 31st
6:45pm - Seniors/families begin lining up on the track - 2 important details below:
1. Senior parents/escorts do NOT get into the football game for free. They will need to purchase a ticket in order to get into the game and come down on the sidelines to escort their Senior. Please make sure all tickets are purchased PRIOR (GoFan) to the game!
2. Have a parent volunteer ensure everyone is lined up in the correct order.
Football is in order by number, cheer and band are alphabetical by last name. Here is the Google Doc for the script so you can see the order. I will have printed copies as well. Still waiting on a few stragglers.
6:50pm - First name is called (starting with football, cheer, then band)
Football has opted to not have a balloon arch. We will have it in place once football is done so cheer and band can use it. All programs will have the FC backdrop that’s in the media center to use for photos.
We have 80 kids to get through, so please help make sure the flow is kept up so we can get through in plenty of time before kickoff!
7:15pm - Leave field, Senior announcements end
7:30pm - Kickoff
Saturday, November 1st
