Information:

Parking: Upon arrival to KHS, entrances and exits will be marked and guides will be available to direct. Buses and equipment trailers will be parked on a first-come, first-served basis in the parking lot on the EAST side of Kuna High School near the tennis courts. Volunteers and spectators will park in the parking lot on the WEST side of Kuna High School near the football stadium. We normally have plenty of room for bands to park in our east parking lot. Props may be dropped off on the blacktop on the west side of the gym so that they are closer to the field. See map for location.

Restrooms: Upon arrival, band members may use the restrooms in the Arena foyer. Volunteers and spectators may use the restrooms near the football stadium connected to the concessions building.

Member Re-Entry: Band members will be issued wristbands as they arrive at the bus parking lot in order to enter the stadium via the spectator entrance. The number of participants indicated on the registration sheet will determine the number of wristbands given.

Tickets: General Admission tickets will be $10. Children 10 and under are free. Credit Card is the preferred payment method. Tickets will be available for pre-purchase online, in addition to purchase at the gate: https://usbands.org/events/details.php?ID=557&type=marching-band​

Warm Up: The two warmup areas for music are located north of the main building (northwest from the bus parking lot). Each band will have a scheduled time to use the music warmup area. A grass field is also available for non-music warmup purposes. It is located directly north of the bus parking lot. Please be considerate of other groups as you use the field.

Field Surface: The field is grass and will have high school hashes present. There is a track. 

Power on Field: There will be an electric cord with a power strip on the track at the 50-yard line. 

Retreat/Critique: Drum Majors and Captains are to report to the field entrance gate before the final band performs. Critique will be held in the KHS choir room 104. A director’s lounge with refreshments will be provided in room 103 following the show. 

Awards: Trophies will be awarded for placement, and certificates will be provided for caption awards. 

Concessions: : Concessions will be located at the KHS Stadium concessions building, directly behind the spectator stands. Profits do go back to the Kuna Band program. 

Credentials/Access: Spectators will be hand stamped at the gate for re-entry. Band staff will have gate entry with their credentials. All band members will be given a wristband at registration. Judges, Band Directors and Event Staff will have access to the hospitality room (art room 103) with their credentials following the show. All other staff and volunteers must either have US Bands credentials or purchase a gate admission. Please support our event. ​
