Important update for tomorrow’s football game at Wilmington Friends School. Coach Barr (Athletic Director) and I drove over to scout out their facilities. They don’t really have a stadium. There is very minimal bleacher seating at their football field. Also, there is no concession stand. There is no room for the band to sit in the stands. We are asking students to bring a “bag chair” tomorrow if they have one (camping chairs, tailgating chairs, etc. that fold and can be carried in a bag…see picture below). We need this type of chair because it will fit on the bus with the students. It does not matter what color the chair is. Make sure that your family’s name is written somewhere on the chair so it does not get mixed up with someone else’s chair. If you have more than one, please bring an extra for someone who may not have one.
Parents who will attend the game: You may want to bring a chair in your trunk too because I am guessing that the bleachers will get filled.
Students: Make sure that you EAT and drink water BEFORE you report to school!
Shoes, boots, and gloves have arrived and students can get them in the morning.
Report Time: 12:00 noon
Performance: 1:40 pm
Kickoff: 2:00 pm (Games usually last about 2 or 2.5 hours)
We will return to school around 4:30-5:00 pm. Students should call or text for their rides before we board the busses to head back to AIHS. Wilmington Friends School is about 10 minutes away from A.I. duPont High School.
