Here are some things I can share right now.
 
 
The buses leave from the concession stand area at 8:30am on Friday morning.
 
We are loading the trucks on THURSDAY NIGHT AT 8:15PM.
 
We are practicing in the Stadium at Murray State University on Friday night from 9:15pm to 11:15pm.
 
Our prelim performance time on Saturday is at 3:15pm and Finals begins at 6:15pm and ends at 9:45pm.
 
 
Thanks,

Help Needed

I am in need of someone with a truck or ability to hitch those two giant lights we rented to their vehicle to take them back.
 
 
They need to go to Arts Rental on Monday morning.  They are currently in the stadium behind the school.  Arts Rental is on Kenton Lands Road.   If you are able to pull the lights up to Art Rental please call me directly at 859-653-0902.
 
Thanks,
Robb
