ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The band did a super job this past weekend with very little field time this week. The pep rally music was strong, both pregame and halftime shows were excellent, the homecoming performance was well done, and I've received nothing but wonderful comments on the parade performance yesterday. I am very proud of all of you!
Well done!
Thank you to our parent volunteers who helped at the game and parade. Your support is what keeps us going and achieving the high level of quality we set as our standard. Thank you!
Reminder, even though we are off on Thursday, this week's game is Thursday night. See info above.
