FHN Knightpride AWAY @ Ozark 9/30/17

Parents and Students,

Our Pride of Ozarks contest is scheduled for Saturday September 30th and Sunday October 1st @ Ozark HS in Ozark MO. I am extremely excited to participate in this well run and growing contest. The competition is fierce, which is what we are looking for! We are also very lucky to be hosted by Central High School in Springfield MO. Their band director Chris Rohrbaugh is extremely excited to host for the first time and has worked extensively to make sure we have everything we need.

Below, you will find an itinerary that spans multiple days, student and chaperone expectations, and procedures. This document will be vital to the success of the trip as it will help alleviate any confusion and keep everyone on schedule.
