Video from Thursday and Pep Band this week

This week is college visitation week for upper classmen. We will be taking a pep band of under classmen to Warren Harding on Friday night. Freshmen and Sophomores should sign up ASAP, any Junior or Senior who would like to participate should speak to Mr. Clemens or Mr. Pocaro. We will be performing pep tunes from the stands on Friday, so have your flip folders stocked with everything that we have played this season, we will not march a halftime show.

To tide you over, here's a video from last Thursday's performance at Mentor.

Game 8 vs. Mentor and Concert Band Rehearsals
