Minooka Community High School Bands

We received this important information today regarding parking for tomorrows competition please read especially if you are signing out your student!!

 

Equipment trailers and band busses from all schools will NOT be parked in the same parking lots as past years.  Instead all school busses/trailers will be parked along Pennsylvania Avenue between Lincoln Ave and 4th Street.  Pennsylvania Ave will closed to all other vehicles (including spectators)

Anyone planning to watch the contest should park WEST of the stadium in LOT 31. Parking lots around Assembly Hall (State Farm Center) will not be available due to other events scheduled in that venue.

Parents planning to pick-up their students after the performance will NOT have the option to drive over to the band busses.  Parents will need to walk over to Pennsylvania Ave (which is on the EAST side of the stadium)
