Good evening. Here is a weather update for Saturday. I know you are looking at the weather for this weekend, and we are too! While we are hoping the weather will cooperate, we would like to share the plan for the day if the weather impacts the competition. IF we can be outside safely, we will proceed as planned, but safety is our #1 priority. With that in mind, I wanted to share some information with you: 1-The call for moving the parade inside will be made by 7AM on Saturday. We will wait until Saturday to make a call on the field show. This decision would be sent out via email and posted on Midwest Marching to the contacts on file. The performances will go on either way, as we want to give you the chance to perform! 2-IF we move inside, we will keep to the original time schedule as best as we can (we will NOT have earlier performance times to keep your travel consistent). 3-IF we move inside, we will be utilizing the HS Gym (regulation size) in which you can perform your music, and seating for spectators. We will tape off yard lines with numbers and front hash if you are wanting to do full movement, which would be 35-35, and then front sideline to almost to center X. (73 feet, while center x is 80 feet). That would leave room for front ensemble in front of the sideline. A designated space for warming up will be communicated. We will also have room in our halls for you to store cases, wipe off damp instruments, etc. 4-IF we move inside, we ask that you please forgo your props, as we need to protect the gym floors. We will do everything we can to give you and your students a good experience. Thank you for your understanding and patience! T.J.
