MARCHING BANDS
The home team in the football play-offs has the option to perform on their home field. This simply means the home team will have the option of having their band perform pre-game and half-time routines if the school desires. Visiting teams will not have the option of having a marching band. If the game is played on a neutral field, there will be no marching band performance.
Pre-game and half-time routines should be arranged with the play-off manager. No half-time routine will be longer than 12 minutes. Except for the aforementioned home team marching band, there are to be no other performances or activities that occur on the football field during pre-game. Marching band members of the home team will be admitted free if they are marching for the game.
OTHER PRE-GAME & HALF-TIME PERFORMANCES
Except for the aforementioned home team marching band, there are to be no other performances or activities that occur on the football field during pre-game and half-time. The home team dance or drill team, along with cheerleaders may perform a routine as long as it is in conjunction with the marching band. If there is no marching band, there is not to be any other performance.
Halftime:
The half-time will be 15 minutes long with a three-minute warm-up period, if there is no marching band participating at halftime.
If the marching band performs at half-time, the half-time will be 20 minutes long with a three-minute warm-up period. Pregame and half-time routines should be arranged with the play-off manager. No half-time routine will be longer than 12 minutes.
Cheerleaders:
Each participating school may have EIGHT cheerleaders admitted free of charge for the first round, quarterfinal, and semifinal games. These cheerleaders will be asked to sign in at the pass gate. For the final games at the UNI-Dome, each participating school will be issued eight passes for their cheerleaders. Any other cheerleaders the school desires to have must purchase a ticket. ALL YOUR CHEERLEADERS MAY CHEER BUT ONLY EIGHT CHEERLEADERS WILL BE ADMITTED FREE OF CHARGE.
Also:
No banners or noisemakers (cowbells, air horns, thunder sticks, etc.) will be permitted at any postseason football contest, including the UNI-Dome at any time, whether it is a first round, quarterfinal, semifinal, or championship game. This prohibition of noisemakers includes any sirens, cannon explosions, fireworks, or bells that are sounded after a home team score. Music played over the public address will only be allowed during the pre game and during half-time if no marching band is performing. Music over the public address is prohibited during time-outs, after scores, between quarters and between plays.
