Band Parents' Day
Final Ticket Purchase Deadline: Sunday, September 1, 2013, 4:00 p.m.
We are excited to offer an excellent means of seeing the Liberty University Marching Band perform: you may participate in our Annual Band Parents’ Day. Our twenty-fifth annual Band Parents’ Day is scheduled on Saturday, September 28, 2013, and I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend. This is always one of the highlights of the marching season, and I am inviting all band members’ parents and their families to participate. Your day will be filled with activities that will give you an excellent idea of the varied schedule involved during our typical game days. We will begin with “Check-in” and Continental Breakfast at 10:00 a.m., followed by our Marching Band field rehearsal in the stadium at 11:30 a.m. Next, you will participate in our devotional period with Jonathan Falwell, pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church. Our time together will focus on the spiritual theme of the season. Following lunch on your own, we will attend the football game in Williams Stadium, where Liberty University will face Kentuck Wesleyan, and you will have reserved seating with the marching band. Another highlight of the day is our Band Parents' Banquet at 8:00 p.m. --last year we had 450 persons in attendance--this is always a special time together with our band families.
TICKETS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THIS TIME -- Information below is in anticipation of ticketing that will be available at a later date.
The cost for the entire day’s activities on Saturday is $25.00 for each adult, $14.00 for children ages 6-18, and free for children to age 5. Band members who reside on campus who are planning to attend the banquet will be charged $14.00. (Please know that a ‘convenience charge’ of $1.00 will be added to each ticket, including children ages 5 and under--this is not something we can adjust.) Please visit the Liberty University Ticket website to reserve and pay for your ticket before September 1, 2013. Just click on the following link to order your tickets: Liberty University Ticket. We usually have 450+ persons in attendance for the day, so don’t miss out!
I hope your schedule will allow you to attend this exciting event. Our past Band Parents’ Days have been a time of renewed fellowship among family members.
