CMU Band Day and Projected Forecast – High School Marching Band
We are watching the weather carefully and making plans to keep the kids cool if the temperatures do reach into the 90’s on Saturday.
There has been discussion among the participating band directors on what their bands will be wearing because of the heat. As of now, we will be wearing our our white show t-shirts and athletic shorts for the morning rehearsal. After we change into uniform will will wear the bibbers and t-shirts in the stands until half time where we will put on the coats and shakos. We will not use gauntlets or gloves for any part of the show. This plan may still change based on input from the other directors.
