Enter the stands single file. We will sit together in the stands (in block if space permits) and there will be no talking. Remember, we are setting an example for every other drumline at this competition. Since there is no talking, there is also no commenting on other drumlines. Clap after every performance. Lastly, have on the correct shirt or you will have to strain your ears very hard to hear the awards presentation from the bus.
