UIL AREA Marching Contest ItineraryC.H. Collins Athletic Complex

1500 Long RoadDenton, TX 76207

Because of the early performance time we have on Saturday and the distance of travel to the competition site, this is the plan we will follow.

Friday morning, students will need to arrive to morning practice with your back pack or small bag for Saturday. It needs to include your toiletries, band shirt, band shorts, black socks, bed time apparel, jeans, cold weather needs (gloves, jacket, sweats, hat, etc.) Nothing else…there will not be time for gaming consoles, or other extra items as we will not have any time for these things.We will go through our normal routine up through halftime of the football game. After we march halftime we will come back to the band hall where we will pack up your uniform and equipment. We will eat our meal deal and then load the bus to head to Denton.We are staying in two hotels in Denton. La Quinta and Holiday Inn right on I-35. The girls will be staying in the La Quinta with Miss Delgado and band booster parents. The boys will be staying in Holiday Inn Express with the male staff and band booster parents.We will perform in the morning and then head to Stonebriar Mall in Frisco for a few hours to eat lunch and relax. Students will be given a per diem for lunch of $8.00 but we encourage extra money be brought. Afterwards we’ll head back to catch the last few bands before finals are announced. We will stay through finals as either participants or spectators before heading home and arriving late back to Kemp. Good luck band!
