Your child will receive the Pirates tickets you ordered at Tuesday’s practice.
Band members’ tickets will not be included in those envelopes. We will be handing band members’ tickets out as we enter the game after we perform the anthem.
Please check to make sure you have received the number of extra tickets you ordered.
If there is a problem with the number of tickets you receive, please send us an email ASAP. Remember: band members’ tickets will not be handed out.
PNC Protocols
Please visit the PNC Park website. Take special note of the section on CASHLESS procedures. PNC Park will not accept any cash at all: not for concessions, souvenirs, etc. If your child would like to buy snacks/drinks/souvenirs at the ballpark, they will need to use a pre-paid card. There are reverse ATMs at the ballpark but we are not sure how convenient and/or timely those stations will be to access from our seats. Consider purchasing a prepaid card to send with your child for concessions and souvenirs.
Also, check out the bag policies for your information.
Students will receive their blue band t-shirts either at Tuesday’s practice or on Wednesday before we leave for Pittsburgh.
Students will wear the Summer Uniform: black Dinkles shoes, black crew socks, black shorts (see Monongalia County Schools dress code for appropriate shorts length), and blue band t-shirt. Band commanders, majorettes, and silks should wear the Summer uniform as decided by their director.
Chaperones should arrive to MMS band room at 1:30 on Wednesday. Thank you for volunteering!
Don’t forget that students need to bring a packed lunch with them on the bus. When we arrive at our parking places, the kids will eat their food and then get ready to go to the check-in area. It will be quite a while before they get into the stadium and are able to get concessions, so please don’t forget the packed lunch. No sugar drinks, please.
We will use the Remind app to communicate our arrival time back at MMS after the game. If you have not signed up for our Remind, text @mmsbandb to 81010.
Students who are not riding the bus home will need to sign out with Mr. Shaffer.
