New Castle County Band Festival
Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018 at Alexis DuPont High School, 50 Hillside Rd, Wilmington, DE 19807. NHS Marching Band will perform in the evening event. Ticket sales at the gates.
We have a LONG day with two performances. One at the football game in the afternoon and one in the evening at the Band Festival. It will be cold during the evening performance. Wear extra layers and bring blankets, hats and gloves to wear in the stands while you watch the other bands perform. Bring extra cash for dinner.
Report time is 12:00 at NHS.
Football away vs. St.E’s at. Baynard stadium, kickoff is 2:00. We will perform pregame at 1:40pm, followed by the National Anthem.
Once the game is complete, we will take our buses directly to AI DuPont for the NCC Band Festival. Concessions will be available for dinner at both Baynard Stadium AND AI DuPont Stadium.
For the festival, here’s the breakdown:
The show begins at 6:00 pm. Gates open at 5:00 pm and we should conclude around 8:30 pm. Bands are seated in the visiting stands by 6:00 pm so that you can watch the other groups.
We are very happy that Delaware State University will be joining us this year to perform an exhibition at the end of the show! They will have a long day and we appreciate them taking the time to perform for us!
6:00 Glasgow
6:15 Conrad
6:30 Christiana
6:45 Salesianum
7:00 William Penn
7:15 Newark
7:30 Cab Calloway
7:45 A.I. duPont
8:00 DSU
When the band before us warms up/begins to take the field, we will move out of the stands and onto the track in the corner behind the end zone. Once the band before you finishes their show, we can do a quick 5 minute warm up behind the end zone, then take the field for performance.
We will ask for all drum majors to report to the sideline to accept your trophy and adjudication sheet after the DSU performance.
The concession stand will be open throughout the evening. No, they don't sell Chik-Fil-A anymore...so don't get your hopes up :)
I also believe their band boosters will be selling t-shirts for the event.
Buses will drop off along the back fire lane, then park in the staff parking lot located in front of the school. Equipment trucks and trailers should park in the field by the concession stand. This is the same as it has been the last few years and there will be parking attendants directing us.
Thanks and let’s end the season with a bang!
