UNDER THE STARS INFO
- Students should be dropped off (at 8PM) and picked up (around 10:50 pm) at the Randolph Middle School main entrance! Once all students have arrived, we'll travel as a group to recently renovated stadium. There will be a roped off section of stands where the 8th grade band will sit for the performances.

- Expectations of students during the evening:
- No cell phone/iPod/etc. use in the stands during a band's performance! Students may quickly use their devices between performances. The district acceptable use policy must be followed. Also, it's nice to turn off the technology every once and a while and enjoy the company instead!
- Students will be quiet and attentive during band performances. This is proper audience etiquette for musical performances. Students are, of course, still allowed to appropriately clap and cheer during performances.
- Students should be demonstrating good character qualities (one would hope all time, but certainly when we're together representing the middle school band program!)
- During the Randolph Marching Rams Performance, all of our students should be standing in our section of the bleachers.
- Any negative behavior reports from our chaperones will jeopardize student eligibility for the Music Trip to Dorney Park in the spring.

- Emergency Info:
- If an emergency medical situation occurs, EMS will be on site and parents will be contacted immediately.
