Great job this season, band! There have been challenging moments, and there have been joyous moments. Throughout it all, you kept going and you worked hard.

There will be 3-4 home varsity football games, an out of town parade, a performance at the City Park, and 5-6 marching band competitions. Anticipate that your Fridays and Saturdays will be busy between August 23, 2024 through October 15th, 2024. That's not to say that all Fridays will have an event within those dates; however, you can expect all, or nearly all, of those Saturdays will have competitions or parades.

After the parade, students will be bused from the elementary school back to the high school for dismissal. If you ride a bus home, you are to remain in the commons until 2:50 PM.
