Drive-In Bingo FAQs

How does Drive-in Bingo work?
Participants park at PHS band practice lot (on the south side of the school), tune in to 89.1 FM on their radios, and listen as the games are called! There will also be a Zoom link to ‘see’ the calls in case you miss an announcement. When you hit a ‘Bingo’, honk your horn and ‘raise your flag’ and our student runners will come to your vehicle to confirm your win!

What if it rains?
Bingo is rain or shine – in the event of inclement weather, the games will be moved inside to the Bullard Cafeteria.

What time should I arrive?
The first game will start promptly at 5pm. The parking lot opens at 4pm, and we HIGHLY recommend you arrive no later than 4:30pm to allow time to set up, grab your ticket packs, and purchase some concessions!

How Many games are played? Can I play multiple cards?
We will play 10 games – 9 ‘pattern’ games and 1 black-out game. 10-Game Ticket Packs can be pre-purchased online at www.pearlandband.org/bingo through April 9th at noon (early bird price $25 per 10-pack), or on the day of the event in either 10-packs ($30) or individual games ($3 per game). Just like indoor bingo, you can play multiple cards per game … the more games you play, the greater your chances of winning!

Can I bring my own food?
Of course! But we’d love for you to consider purchasing concessions from our students. All proceeds benefit the band and will go towards the cost of our Fall 2026 marching show (stay tuned for details!).

Do you accept Debit/credit cards?
Yep! Cash, credit, debit and Apple Pay are all accepted!
