Note that entrance to this field is similar to KHS, entering from the South.
This is a timed performance, so we need to be efficient when entering and also when exiting. We need to get past the South goal line in time. Exiting bands have right of way when clearing the field.
The Pit setup area where the trailers park is on an inclined parking lot. We will need to use our loadlocks to block our cart wheels, etc. We will need trailers unloaded and props assembled before 11:45 so the pit can go to their warmup.
Following the 12:45 pm performance, we will return all equipment and props to the trailer area. We will not reload it all into the trailer as we will perform again in the evening. We will keep it staged in an orderly manner behind the trailers. We should be done with this by 1:15 or so. Then we will need to reconvene toward evening. We will announce that once we know our evening performance time and calculate back to the setup time – I would plan to be back by 5:00 at the latest, unless our time has us adjust accordingly. Call/text Ed 308-440-0694 with questions or to check on the time schedule for the evening.
