LAST CHANCE - Senior Banners

Senior banner photos will be at the Annex, Door 14S. The 3’ x 4’ banner will be hung on the fence in the stadium. It’s a senior tradition! Cost is $40. Bring the order form and a check payable to THIESZEN PHOTO CREATIONS.

Parent Preview Show

The parent preview show will be Thursday, August 26th, 7:30pm at the football stadium. This is the night before our first halftime show performance. Our students' hard work will be showcased, and you will be impressed with the results of the summer’s efforts. Please arrive at 7:30pm, the show will start shortly afterwards.

Meanwhile, please be aware that practices are open to parents, family and friends. Thursdays at 8pm are a good time to see the band wrap up a practice at the stadium. You can catch the next Thursday evening practice at the stadium on August 19th after the parent meeting.
