Advice from an Alumni about Hornet Football!

 

As we approach the first game of the year, there are some rules you need to know when attending a BTW game (home or away).

If you get offended, not my issue. As an alumni it is my responsibility to make everyone knows what these are and to help guide the new students/parents in the Hornet way

1) When the band entering/leaving the stadium you are not to cross between the band members. Should you try, band members have been instructed to continue playing their instruments and march and if you get hit by and instrument, baton, or a high kick, YOU are at fault and no apologies will be issued.

Additionally, when the band has taken their place in the stands, crossing in front is prohibited (there are exceptions for our Sr Citizens). This for their safety as well as yours. If you are Pom or Cheer, the space on the track in front of the band is for the Majos only. If you need to cross to go to the other side, you will go behind the Majos.

Additionally, whomever is in front of the student section, you are to stay in that area and keep your distance from them. Those batons hurt and if you get hit by one because you weren't where you were suppose to be, that's on you.

2) Whatever your stance is on the National Anthem, keep it to yourself. ROTC and Band take their jobs seriously and as such you can at least give these students your respect.

3) Our school colors are Orange and Black (gray and white are acceptable). This means when attending please try and dress accordingly. Spiritwear is available from the PTSA and Band so no excuse.

4) Student section - Dress attire is applicable to you as well. You represent the Hive so dress accordingly. You are also to be up on your feet cheering your school on. Do not sit there like a bump on a log. If you are an alumni and have a relative attending BTW, get this through their head.

5) School Hymn - The school hymn is played after every game whether we win or lose. If you are a student or have one at BTW, they are to know ALL the words to it. If you don't know it, Doc Shaw - music instructor is more than happy to help you learn.

Like the National Anthem, when you hear that first note, stop whatever you are doing until song is over. WE DO NOT WALK DURING THE PLAYING/SINGING OF THE SCHOOL HYMN!!! If you are spotted doing so, be prepared to get checked.

Like I said, you might not like what I said but I believe in telling how it is instead of complaining.
