I think 03 means escorts to the stadium for the team. For instance at Collinwood, all the Police and Fire make their way to the stadium with all the sirens going etc.

I'm still not understanding. Is it parents and police/fire escorting the bus to away games? or is it an escort when they walk to the field?

I guess I'm showing my age here.  But to learn more of this tradition watch THE HOOSIERS on dvd. Notice the ESCORT the team recieves traveling to games. The team, the band and parents would sure feel proud to have such attention.

I'll show my age too. Hoosiers is one of my favorite all-time movies.

 

The only time I have seen a team escort in person was when I was a child in the late 60s. Haywood played Manchester in the Chemical Bowl in Columbia, and Manchester came into the stadium with a police escort. I thought it was pretty cool, but I believe Haywood beat Manchester that night someithing like 28 - 0.

Escorting is where the police/fire department meets the team bus at the city limits and escorts them back to the school with the lights and sirens flaring.

escorts sounds good, but i think a nice fan tunnel for them to walk out of from the locker room to the field is vital. nothing like small town fans cheering you on and giving kids hive fives

We did that in Jr. High and Freshman High School basketball. It really got you pumped!

Its a different day now!!

 

I'd prefer the locals stay home and bust some dopeheads and thiefs instead!!!!!

Some teams have the police or sheriff dept escort the team on all road games.

Meigs has a police escort to all away games. They also changed the colors of the cars about 6 years ago to orange and black. Don't know if this was on purpose, but it looks good. Just wish we could paint a bus up like the police cars.
