Friday, 10/11 - Football Game/Senior Recognition Night - 5:30pm call; 7:00 kickoff (NO SCHOOL THIS DAY)

We will recognize our senior band members and their parents at the conclusion of the half-time show. All senior parents are invited to join us this night to be recognized. During the half-time show, parents should make their way to the gate at the south end of the bleachers (to the right as you look at the field). There you will be met by some band boosters who will direct you where to go and give you a rose to present to your son or daughter. Students will be assigned a position along the out of bounds line based upon their ending spot in the final song and this chart can be viewed by CLICKING HERE. As names are read, families will meet in lane 1 of the track and the parents will present the rose to their student. The game will start at 7:00pm and half-time usually takes place around 8:00pm. During the 1^st quarter, immediately after the band is done with the pre-game show, our parent photographers will take pictures of senior students with their parents. Please come down to the band area right away after the pregame show for this photo opportunity.
