Yard Lines
There are 21 yard lines on an American football field. THe center line is the 50 yard line. Yard lines count down in 5 yard increments to the gol line, also called the 0 yard line. The band performance area includes the end zones whcih extend 10 yards past the goal line.
Inside
toward the 50 yeard line
Outside
toward either end zone, away from the 50 yard line
In front of
toward the director’s (home) viewpoint
Behind
away from the director’s (home) viewpoint
Sidelines
The sidelines are the front and back boundaries of the football field. The front sideline is nearest the firector’s viewpoint. THe bac sideline is on the opposite side of the field. In marching band the performance area extends 12 feet in front of the front (home) sideline. It extends behind the back (visitor) sideline, all the way to the backfield stands.
Steps
In marching band we measure distance in “steps.” There are 8 steps in 5 yards. One “8 to 5” step is 22 1/2 inches.
Hash Marks
The hash marks intersect the yard lines 24 steps away from the side lines. The front hash is nearest to the director’s viewpoint. The back hash is nearest to the sidelines. Competitions on college fields will have both sets of hash marks.
Vertical Hash Marks
The vertical hash marks are not always marked, but when they are, they show one yard increments. A copetition on college fields, the vertical hash marks will be 4 steps behind the regulation hash marks.
