Playoffs are here!!!

For the first time since 2005, “The Pride of Shaker Heights” will be cheering on the Raider football team in a playoff game this Saturday night! Have your flip folder with you for the stands because any tune is fair game as we work to get the crowd and the team fired up.  We will play whenever we get the chance.  The team needs to know the whole Raider Nation is behind them!

Call time is 4:45 PM in full uniform on the main field.  Come ready for a good rehearsal and to board the buses quickly.  The game starts at 7 PM at First Federal Lakewood Stadium.  We expect to return home sometime around 10 PM.
