Itinerary for the Eastern Shore Classic Oct. 19th., 2019
We will be attending the Eastern Shore Classic Marching Band Contest in Daphne, AL. Unlike our previous to events, which were festivals, we will be competing directly against other bands. All groups will receive an actual numerical score instead of a rating.
The contest has two parts. First, all groups will compete in prelims. That means that all groups will perform there show and be assigned a numerical score. Then, after all of the scores in all of the classes are tallied, the top 8 scores from no matter the classification will go against each other in the finals competition later in the evening.
We won't know if we have made finals until the last band performs in prelims. Hopefully, we will make finals and we will run our show again. If not, then we will decide whether or not if we want to stay and be spectators, or head home a little early.
Let's do our best to make FINALS!!!

As always, we will send out a message via the Band App and Remind when we turn on HWY 87.
Special note: If you plan to check your student out from the contest at any point, you must turn in a letter stating what your plans are before we leave on Saturday. Remember, students may only be released to a parent, and only with a letter turned in prior to leaving the school. If you take your student, you must make contact in person with the chaperone of their bus to sign them out. Please help us avoid awkward situations in this matter by making sure to follow the rules.
Thanks!
