Football & Marching Band

8/28/2022

Friday nights are for football and marching band.  It's a wonderful community experience to sit on the bleachers to cheer on our kids, both football and band.  They have so much in common and it is very important to our coaches/directors to keep it that way.  We have all seen the shirts, "I am just here for halftime".  They are cute, and we love the support of our band kids.  But please consider how it would feel to be a football parent and see them wearing, "I am just here for football".  That would make you feel either bad or angry, or both.  So please be considerate in what you say, do and wear. We are there to actively cheer on the band AND the football team.  We are representing our kids and this phenomenal band, stay classy.

Just before the football game is to start, you will see JMB quietly march into the stadium and line up in the end zone.  Once given the command to take the field, they will march playing the Jenison Fight Song.  Once on the field, they will be led by Mr. Zamborsky, in playing the National Anthem.  They will play the fight song again and head to the stands.  The JMB has a reserved section in the upper stands, under the press box.  Once they take their seats, Drum Majors Brendan McKinley, Nadia Uljaky, Izzy Botbyl and Johnny Ngo will led the band in cheering on our Jenison Wildcats.  Toward the end of the 2nd quarter, the band will head down and line up on the track to warm up and prepare for their halftime performance.  This will be your cue to cheer and clap loudly for your student and the JMB.  Once they are finished with their performance, they will head back up to the stands and disperse to get concessions, use the bathroom etc.  They must be back by the end of the 3rd quarter. They will stay the remainder of the game and then head down to march off the field together as a band.  The parents usually go stand outside of the pool (back entrance of the school for the band) and watch as the drum line plays them back to the grassy area.  They will circle up around Mr Zamborsky and Mr Justice and hear a debriefing, then concluding in the band hymn, Lobe den Herren.  They will head in to the high school, hang up their band costume and be dismissed.
