🏈 Today’s Game Plan:
Come early, find your seat, grab something delicious from the Panther Den, send your favorite student a Bandagram, snag an official Bandapalooza T-shirt while supplies last, and CHEER LOUD for every band that takes the field!

🌦️ This is an outdoor event with no indoor option, so we still recommend keeping an emergency poncho handy just in case.

Most importantly, come ready to celebrate the incredible students who have spent countless hours preparing for moments just like this.

The field is ready. The bands are ready. WE are ready.

🏈🎶 5 DAYS UNTIL BANDAPALOOZA! 🎶🏈

Want to give your favorite band member a little extra hype before they take the field? Send them a BANDAGRAM! 💜

Bandagrams are special shout-outs that will be shared with students before they perform, and they are such a fun way to let them know their family and friends are cheering them on!

💌 Bandagrams are just $5 each
📍 Look for the Bandagrams tent near the front gate
🎺 Send one to your favorite marcher, percussionist, or color guard member!

Whether it’s a good-luck message, an inside joke, or simply “We’re so proud of you,” a Bandagram is a great way to make their Bandapalooza day even more special.
