Football game details:
On Tuesday, September 4th, we are playing our 1st football game.
Please drop off your child at this location. Click here for map.
Students are expected to wear their Band T-shirt, jeans or shorts, and athletic shoes. (No flip-flops please). Students may wear sunglasses and hats.
We are meeting at Lebanon Trail HS at 5:00pm. The games begin at 5:30pm. Students may bring an extra snacks but we are feeding the students pizza, and water.
If you need a ride on the bus, please e-mail Mr. Katz at Katzb@friscoid.org. Volleyball players are also expected to ride the bus with Mr. Katz from Clark to LTHS.
7th grade football players are expected to perform with the band during the game that they are not involved in. All football players are expected to have someone bring their instrument and music to and from the game for them. Since the “B” team plays first, they will start out with the football team while the “A” team will start with the band. In the 4th quarter, the “A” team will leave the band and go to the field to warm-up for their game. Then the “B” team will join the band for the “A” game.
7th Grade cheerleaders are expected to perform with the band during the first half of each game and then leave at halftime to perform their routine with the cheerleaders.
We are serving the students snacks and drinks during the event. Students are NOT allowed to go to the concessions stands. Students are encouraged to bring their homework to the stands. The students are expected to attend the entire event. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis. Please, contact us in advance if you plan taking your child home early. Only a legal guardian may pick up a student from the event.
Regardless of when the games end, we are done by 8:30pm. Make sure to follow us @clarkband on Twitter, and be signed up for Remind.
Please plan on picking up your child at LTHS at 8:30pm.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 469-633-4621 or KatzB@friscoisd.org.
