Round Lake High School Marching Panthers  Middle School Invitational Football Game

​Rehearsal with the Marching Panthers:

  • Where: Round Lake High School Football Field
  • What to bring: Instrument, flip folder/lyre, RLHS Fight Song, and GYM SHOES (no open toed shoes)
  • Am I required to be there?  YES, THIS COUNTS AS AN IMPORTANT FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT.  Please see your Director ASAP with conflicts to get an excused absence.
  • Percussion specific info: The only percussion instruments NOT being transported are cymbals.  Cymbal players must bring them on their own.  Snare drummers should bring their own sticks but bass and tenor drum mallets will be brought by your Director.  Please make sure you give them back to the same person you got them from after rehearsal.

Football Pregame Performance:
  • When: Friday, October 18th at 6:00PM - please arrive at least 15 minutes early
  • Where: Round Lake High School - Go to the circle drive in front of the school and walk towards Door 4 past the front entrance.  There will be signs to guide you to the Band room once you get inside the building.  Students should not enter through the main entrance (Door 1).
  • What to bring: Instrument, flip folder/lyre, RLHS Fight Song
  • What to wear: Your black Round Lake Music shirt, jeans, and GYM SHOES (no open toed shoes)
  • Am I required to be there?  YES, THIS COUNTS AS A SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT.  Please see your Director ASAP with conflicts to get an excused absence.
  • Percussion specific info: The only percussion instruments NOT being transported are cymbals.  Cymbal players must bring them on their own.  Snare drummers should bring their own sticks but bass and tenor drum mallets will be brought by your Director.  Please make sure you give them back to the same person you got them from after the performance.

Schedule for the performance:
Eat before you come but there will be concessions for sale at the game after we play.
  • 6:00 - Practice run through with Band and Choir (Old Gym)
  • 6:45 - Band and Choirs march out to the field
  • 6:55 - Fight Song and National Anthem (sung by Choir)
  • 7:00 - Kickoff 
  • 7:05 - Put instruments and music away in the Band room and then go back out to the stands. Attendance will be taken once everyone is in the stands. 
  • ***8:15 - Watch the Marching Panthers halftime show
  • ***8:45 - Dismissal (if you are staying, you must have a family member present)
    • Students will exit at Door 4 for pick up in the circle drive.  Students should not exit through the main entrance (Door 1).
***Exact times will be determined by the game being played.  Students should plan on keeping cell phones with them to stay in contact with parents for exact pickup times.  If you do not have a cell phone, you may borrow from a Director or friend but please know your phone number!

Other important items to note:
  • All middle school students are required to stay with the high school band in the stands until after halftime.  
  • Please have a parent or guardian email, call, write a note, or send a carrier pigeon to your Director if you need to leave right after our performance.  These students will be excused to leave after we perform. 
  • Once we are watching the game, you are not to leave the stands without a Director's permission and with a buddy.  You do not get to wander around by yourself for extended periods of time or we will call for you over the very loud announcer's microphone to find you.  Don’t be that person!
  • After halftime, we will all walk back into the high school together to get your belongings.  Everybody should be picked up in the front of the building unless you have a parent already at the game who is parked in the back.

What if I don’t have a ride to the rehearsal on the 16th or the game on the 18th?  There are over 200 students in the RLMS and JTMMS band programs combined, all of whom live in Round Lake.  Please find a ride - this will not count as an excused absence. Plan ahead and it should not be a problem.
​Middle School Marching Band Event Supply List
USE THE ABOVE LINK TO SEE A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU NEED TO PURCHASE BEFORE CLICKING ON THE LINKS BELOW.  ​Your lyre and flip folder are a one time purchase that you will use throughout middle school and high school. We have a list of stores located at roundlakemusic.com under the resources tab. There are other types of lyres that attach differently, but do not purchase anything other than what you see here for your specific instrument! These indicated designs have proven to be the best. You must have a lyre and flip folder for the marching rehearsal and performances on October 16th and October 18th.
