All guard members are responsible for arranging transportation to and from the contest site. Members should bring money for concessions for dinner. Parent drivers may choose to stop to eat on the way home but should make sure that all members riding with them are aware of the stop ahead of time so they will have money to get something to eat. :)

Unless you have a staff badge, for being a chairperson of a committee, all drivers and spectators will be responsible for paying their own admission to the contest. Admission prices are usually around $7-$8 per person.

We will be leaving Lowell Middle School at 12:00 noon. Provided that there is no bad weather we should be able to make a lunch stop in Howell at M-59 (it's tradition now right?) and still make it to the school with plenty of time to get Almost Home settled in an into warm up. :)
