For those of you who have not heard of this yet from your athletic directer, this is going to happen! As of this year it is just a recommendation. However, if you are in a St. Louis Conference, according to my AD, we have all volunteered to adopt this recommendation this year. That means we must follow this procedure, which means no more than three hours outside a day to set drill. It doesn't matter if you are marching, sitting in the shade, setting drill with or without instruments, or having sectional. It doesn't even matter if it is 65, no more than three hours!

    My AD didn't think it applied to bands. It says sports teams and spirit groups. He doesn't count us as a spirit group.
