14. Marching Bands
14.1 PRE-GAME
When both schools have a marching band, each is allowed six minutes for a pre-game show. If possible, both bands will join in playing the National Anthem. If a joint performance is not possible, the home team band will play.
In the event there is only one marching band present, it may use the entire 15 minutes for a pre-game show and to play the National Anthem.
14.2 HALFTIME
The visiting team band shall perform first and must be prepared to start its performance within one minute after the end of the first half of play. The performance by the visiting team band may not exceed ten minutes including time to get on and off field. The home team band shall be prepared to start its performance within thirty seconds after the visiting team band clears the field. The performance by the home school band may not exceed ten minutes including time to enter and leave the field. The clock will be in operation between halves, and will be started on the referee’s signal. The 20-minute halftime shall be timed on the field clock.
The field must be cleared 20 minutes after first half is ended for mandatory three-minute warm drills for players.
SPECIAL NOTE: No team will be penalized if the band exceeds the time allotted, causing a delay in starting either half. Bands that exceed the time limit will not receive expense money.
14.3 ANNOUNCER
If a special announcer is required for the band show, previous arrangements shall be made with game manager in order to gain access to the public address system.
