Please note that the calendar is tentative and subject to change! I would recommend adding the program Google Calendars to your calendar app, so you will always be up to date. The calendar is also synced to the Band app!
🏈 Football Games
As a marching band and color guard, we attend all home football games. We perform pep tunes during the game, and will often perform our show at halftime. It is a great opportunity to come see the band in action, and the students love your support.
Students are responsible for getting themselves to and from the game, and are responsible for wearing the correct clothing, and having all necessary equipment. See you this Friday, and go Dons!
