If a student is not returning to Tipp City, we can only release them to their parents.  Parents should meet the band in the parking lot by the buses.  WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO RELEASE STUDENTS TO ANYONE BUT THEIR PARENTS.  PLEASE DON’T ASK.

Any students attending semi-finals on Saturday morning can get reduced priced student tickets.  Tickets are $12.  (usually $35) You can meet Mr. Parks at the ticket window at 9:00 am.  The tickets must all be purchased at one time.  Make sure you are there or make arrangements for someone to pick up/pay for your ticket.

THS Marching Band and Semi-Finals:

The top 15 bands from each day (Thursday/Friday) move onto Semi-Finals on Saturday.  The top two bands from each class for each day also are added onto Semi-Finals if they are not already a top 30 band.

There is a small chance that the band could be in the top two places for our day for our class (Class A). If that is the case we will perform in semi-finals.  Our charter buses are rented through mid-night so we will have to return to Tipp City Friday Night.  In the event that we make it to semi-finals, we will have to take Tipp City school buses back to Indianapolis.  It is possible that we would perform at 7:30 AM so we will have to leave Tipp City at around 4 AM!!!!  This is a real problem logistically, but truly a great opportunity for our students.

Bands of America Kettering Regional Information

The high school band will be performing at the Bands of America Kettering Regional on Saturday October 2nd.  This is a prelims/finals format.  This means that all bands will perform in the morning, and the top 10 will perform that evening.  If we do not make finals, we will be coming home after dinner.  If you wish to stay and watch finals, you may for free, but you must have a parent pick you up before the band leaves.  We need to know how many performing students plan to stay so we can pick up those tickets.
