10/3/22 - Friday 10/7/22 Night Rehearsal

Hello everyone,

I wanted to confirm that there is NO football game this Friday, 10/7. The game is now an away game. In order to make sure we have some element of rehearsal/performance before our second to last competition, athletics was kind enough to reserve the field for us from 6-9 pm on Friday. Since we already have this time scheduled on our marching band calendar, we WILL have a night rehearsal 6-9 pm on the field on 10/7 to continue our momentum into State.

I apologize for any confusion, our last game will be on 10/14/22. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, concerns, etc.
