Game #7 at Brunswick, 10/9 & Fox Morning Show

The entire "Pride of Shaker Heights" will be travelling to Brunswick on Friday, 10/9, for another performance under the Friday night lights! Call time is 4:45 PM (location TBD) in full uniform (including all black shoes and long, black socks) with raincoats. We will rehearse, then load the busses, hopefully leaving around 5:15 PM. The bus ride is a long one, so expect us back some time around 10:30 PM.

Also, as we have been announcing, Shaker Marching Band will be featured on FOX 8’s Kickin’ It with Kenny on Friday, October 16 between 7 am and 9 am. Call time is 6:30 am in full uniform. Students will be excused from second period class so that they may eat breakfast, provided by the Shaker Schools Foundation, in the cafeteria. Parents, neighbors and anyone else is invited to come and watch. The show will be televised live on FOX 8. There will also be a recording of the show posted on FOX 8’s website. More specifics about times to see the band on live TV will be coming out next week. Please begin making transportation arrangements now so that we can have all 385 members there when the cameras start rolling!
