Date: September 8, 2017 (Friday)
Time: We will be leaving from the building, there will be a bus TO and FROM the game
Cost: FREE. Each student gets ONE ticket to the game for themselves, and ONE free complimentary ticket for a family member.
Music: the National Anthem, and it must be MEMORIZED. The music is on Charms (and it's super easy). We will have a REHEARSAL AT CAMP for a few minutes to go over some details. It must be memorized before the rehearsal at camp.
"Great!! how do I sign up??"

Questions:
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TIGERS GAME??!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????!!!!!
This is NOT excluding us from a Tigers game. All of the fall dates are taken for the Tigers, Mr. Quinn is planning to try again in the spring of 2018. This is still a very strong possibility for us, and Mr. Quinn will try his best to make it happen. This game was set in stone without an audition by attending members, they had a great date, and it is free - none of those things were available for the Tigers game. This will be a great first step before we go to Comerica Park. They approached US to play at a PLAYOFF game! This is awesome!!!
I'm not sure if I can go - should I still sign up?
YES! If you can't go, you can always delete yourself off the list later.
What do I need to wear?
This is still in the planning stages. USPBL has a set of rules and there will be a certain "uniform" you will wear. More information will go out to those who sign up. You will NOT be wearing a concert uniform for this performance, and you WILL get to change after we are done performing.
Can I bring food/drinks/snacks with me to the game?
Unfortunately, no. Jimmy John's Field does not allow outside food or drinks. We will consider ordering pizza before we go - that will be up to the students to organize.
I have questions about the stadium itself - directions, etc.
