Each marching band member will need a dot book and chart book to hold their printed drill pages. The chart book is a 3-ring binder that holds the show music, warm-up exercises, and full-size drill pages. The dot book holds the miniature versions of the drill pages that students will bring to every practice.

Remember:
* Use BIG PAGES to determine field placement. Computer screens show the best detail.
* Your dot is the middle of the X, Q, N, D, or + (guard) depending on your section.
* If you find anything confusing please contact your section leader right away.

String shoe laces or cloth ribbon through the spirals of your dot book. This will allow you to wear your dot book across your shoulder during marching practice.
