SIGN HOLDER
Hold signs in stands reminding spectators to remain quiet during the performances. A sign holder is placed in each section (down front). This etiquette is taken seriously.
GUIDE
The students perform this job for most of the day, however, we will need adults to replace them when they leave to get ready and warmup for their assessment. You will lead visiting bands to their warmup area and then to stadium for their assessment. You will need to be able to keep them to the time schedule published
