Extra practices will be added for events like Homecoming and Fantasy of Lights Parade. Usually the week before a Home Game, that day's schedule will be posted on the classroom board and on the blog. Tailgating runs on donations and there will be a sign up website link posted a few weeks in advanced on what is needed to make the tailgate run smoothly (either $3 per person or donated food/items).

The First Home Game (Thursday, September 3rd) Report Time is 4:30pm due to the scheduling of usage of the football field.
