Location: 17050 Clayton Rd, Wildwood, MO 63011

Time & Itinerary: TBD

MORE INFO:

• Students are expected to ride the bus to and from the competition. We learn a great deal by traveling together, watching other bands and experiencing the awards ceremony.
• Stadium seating is limited. Bands must sit on visitor’s side of the field.
• No one is to leave the contest site without permission from Mr. Wyss.
• Everyone will exhibit the utmost courtesy toward other bands, especially during their performances!!  Please show respect for their hard work by being an attentive and appreciative audience. Any behavior to the contrary is considered beneath the dignity and reputation of this band, our parents and our school. Students and parents are reminded that we are all representatives of Lindbergh. OUR REPUTATION OFF THE FIELD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY SUCCESS WE ACHIEVE ON THE FIELD!
