Parent Pit Crew

The Parent Pit crew aids the band in the logistics of moving equipment for games and contests.

Basic Information

Home Games

We typically do not use props for games, but this will vary and I don't know what Mike will do. We will use props for the Band Day game early in the season. If we are using props we need to report about 5:30 to get setup before it becomes crowded. If we are not using props check in just before the start of the game.

We need to gather by the track about 3 minutes before the end of the half. We will help get out the equipment, carts, and podium. After half-time we will clean up and be done about 1/2 way thru the 3rd quarter.

Away Games

Typically load at the High School around 5:30PM. Students and parents load all the equipment on the trucks. Trucks depart for the away school. Once the truck arrives at the school we unload all the gear and instruments. The busses will show up, students will get dressed (if we take uniforms) and get their gear and head into the game. The pit will assemble the carts and other equipment. Again gather just prior to half-time and get the band out on the field. Once done we come back to the truck and pack up what we can. Once the game is over the students will come back to the truck and we will load all the gear.

At the high school we will unload all the equipment into the band room and then we are done.

Contests

Contests need 2 different groups. The first group pretty much spends all day there. They help load and unload the trucks. The second group needs to be there about an hour before the competition and helps get the equipment on/off the field.
