Football Games
Kearney High Football games are held at UNK’s Foster Field at 7:00 p.m. Your attendance at home football games is very important to all members of the band, color guard, and directors. By learning the key portions of the marching show, you will be able to better cheer on the band during competitions, a critical part of the judging. Your son and/or daughter put in long hours to be a member of the band. Show your support by your attendance.
Parents Night is usually the first home football game (changes will be announced). Please be in attendance to walk across the field with your student during half-time introductions. This means a great deal to your child(ren).
The Bearcat Band performs at all home football games and some district competitions. Most games are on Friday evenings. The band meets in the band room at the UNK Fine Arts Building about one hour prior to the games for warm up and returns there after the game.
If you attend a game and drop your student off at the Fine Arts Building, you can park in the parking lot to the east of UNK’s Sports Center. This parking lot is behind the Otto Olsen Building. Parking is also available at Foster Field, in the street to the south of the stadium and on designated grass areas along University Drive. No parking pass is required to park on campus in the evening. Cost to attend a game is approximately $4-6.00 for adults. Everyone attending games is required to pay admission (even if you just want to see the band). Please respect this KHS policy. Adult and student activity tickets are available at KHS or may be purchased at the games. Band members do not pay admission.
Students enter the field as a unit and sit together in the bleachers. They are not allowed to leave the stands during the game. Full uniform is required for all games. Please remind your student that eating and drinking while in uniform at the games must be done with extreme caution. Warm underclothing may be necessary on cold game nights.
One of the pieces that the band plays during football games is the Kearney High School song. The word are:
Kearney High to you we’ll always be true You’re the best school in the land Your colors waving high bright golden and blue For you ideals we’ll always stand As we onward go to fame and renown Our loyalty will never die To you we sing Our homage bring For dear old Kearney High
Please stand and sing or clap each time the band plays the school song to show your support of the student athletes and musicians.
**Parent Volunteer Opportunities
Parents are needed to keep the band’s area in the bleachers open prior to the game and also to watch band member’s belongings during the half time show. Help is needed to distribute hat plumes for half-time performances and collect them after the performance.
Parents are needed to help sell raffle tickets for the stadium blanket, which are sold at one of the football games. Attend the Band Parent Meetings to learn more.
