- Eat a good breakfast.
- Stay hydrated.
- If possible, leave personal instrument cases at home, or in your personal car, and arrive on campus with just your instrument.
- The DGN band room will be open for students to retrieve instruments that are currently at school.
- Arrive on campus in khaki shorts (longer than your finger-tips), a solid white t-shirt (no tank-tops, please), tennis shoes and white athletic socks (no sandals of any kind).
- No sunglasses (unless prescription), no hats, flags, face paint, etc.
- Uniform polo shirts (purple & blue) will be distributed inside the Field House. Enter through the large door within the stadium complex.
- When the parade ends, students will be dismissed near the Community Bank of Downers Grove (1111 Warren Ave.). *** Note: All uniform polo shirts will be returned at that time.
