Sanderson HS - The Capital City Band Expo - Sat. Oct 22nd

Jordan Band's 4th Competition of the season is Saturday, October 23rd at Sanderson HS in Raleigh. This competition is scheduled as a prelims and finals competition. For our new parents and students, this means if we place in the top 8 in the afternoon, we will have an opportunity to perform again later in the evening. All students must be at JHS at 11am. Please have a good meal before you arrive. We will be departing Jordan by 1:00pm by Activity Bus and expect to arrive at Sanderson before 2:00pm. I will try to give the students on opportunity to eat concessions when we arrive, but that will depend on whether the competition is running early, on time or late. We may have an opportunity to go into the stadium and watch bands perform, however our warm up time is slated for 3:15pm and our dress time at 2:45pm. Our performance time is 4:15pm with prelims awards being held at 5:30pm. If we make finals, they will begin at 7:15pm with "The Capital Cup" awards ceremony being held at 9:45pm. Please bring warm clothes as fall is in full swing. We will leave at the conclusion of awards which I would think would take roughly an hour or so. The Jordan Band has traditionally stopped off at "Fat Daddy's Restaurant" after our Sanderson performance and I would like to keep that tradition going. Here are the restaurant's particulars.

Fat Daddy's

6201 Glenwood Ave.
Raleigh, NC 27612
919-787-3773

Our arrival time at Fat Daddy's will depend on whether we make finals or not. The same can be said about when we expect to arrive back at Jordan. I will ask all the students to call their parents to make sure everyone knows our plan after the prelims awards ceremony. If we do not make finals, I would expect to be home before 9pm. If we do make finals, I would expect to be home by 12am.

Thank you for your continued support. Please do come and cheer us on at Sanderson!
