Marching Band t-shirts will be distributed at or before the first home football game on August 26th!
Tailgate for the First Game* - THURSDAY, AUGUST 26TH!
Before each home football game, the band boosters organize a tailgate for the marching band. For our first tailgate, we're having pizza! If you'd like to donate and/or volunteer to help, go to and sign up for the BAND app:
Please bring $3 per person if you are not donating something or helping with something (listed on the BAND App's Sign Up). You can drop off money early in an envelope in the mailbox in the band room w/your name (and your families names) on it. This helps with the extra costs needed to feed everyone.
