Game #8, Homecoming, is Saturday, 10/17. Call time is 11 AM on the practice field in full uniform, but no hats or gloves. Saturday is Alumni/Community Band, so everyone is invited to join "The Pride of Shaker Heights" on the field during halftime, just be at the 11 AM rehearsal to get music and learn the short marching drill. Students are released after halftime, but extra credit will be offered to those who stay for the second half.
On another note, the directing staff would like to thank the Administration, parents and community for their support in making this morning's Fox 8 performance. Most of all, we would like to thank 385 of the best band students in the country for their dedication to early rehearsals and one very long day to demonstrate why the marching band earns the title "The Pride of Shaker Heights." Great job Shaker!

Call time for all band members is 6:30 AM, and it looks as though we will be able to perform outside in the stadium!

Students will be excused from second period to change and eat breakfast, provided by the Shaker Schools Foundation, so be sure to bring a change of clothes. Be sure to eat some breakfast and come prepared to show all of Cleveland what"The Pride of Shaker Heights" can do!

Spirit Breakfast and Parking for the Fox 8 Performance

All drummers who are available should meet on the front lawn at 7:45 AM with their equipment, and there will be donuts for those who participate.
Also, please read the following message from the Administration regarding parking on Friday for the Fox 8 performance:

Band members will be arriving at the school at 6:30 a.m. and performing eight live takes from 6:55 a.m. to 9 a.m., either at the Stadium or in the North Gym (depending on the weather) for Kenny Crumpton and a camera crew.
