Hello Everyone:

We're just two days away from a historic event, and we're gearing up to
support our boys basketball team in their bid to become CIF Division I
State Champions. All championship teams have a devoted fan base, and we
know that Berkeley High has thousands of authentic fans!

Here's how you can get involved:

*Send-Off Salute**: *On Thursday during 5th period, the team will leave BHS
for Sacramento. We want them to know how proud we are of them, so we invite
everyone to join us in front of the Donahue Gym and on the Milvia Street
sidewalk to line a route and greet the players and coaching staff as they
board the bus. We'll announce the exact time during Thursday's morning
announcements.

*Game Details*: If you're interested in attending the game, here's what you
need to know:

   - Tipoff is at 8:00 p.m. at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento (One Sports
   Parkway, Sacramento, CA 95834). On a weeknight, the trip will take 90-120
   minutes from Berkeley.
   - Parking is $15/vehicle, so we encourage fans to carpool.
   - The following items are prohibited inside Sleep Train Arena: bottles,
   cans, backpacks or large bags, outside food/beverages, Frisbees, beach
   balls, laser pointers, noise making devices, illegal drugs and alcohol,
   weapons and dangerous devices of any kind.
   - General admission is $16.80/person.
   - There will be a special section reserved for Jacket fans; you'll see
   them wearing red and gold when you enter the arena.

*Fan Bus:* We're getting a Fan Bus to take student and staff fans to Sleep
Train Arena in Sacramento to cheer on the team!

   seats available, a random drawing will be held to select fan bus riders and
   those who are not chosen will be placed on a wait list. The rider list and
