  • Pep Band is not required - it goes towards your band letter / medals and it is fun. ^.^ It's marching band but you don't play at half time or pre-game!  
  • Because this is a play-off game, the MHSAA is handling ticket sales.  Marching band members do NOT need a ticket to get in but family, friends, etc. must purchase tickets on-line BEFORE the game!  Tickets will NOT be available at the gate.
  • Ticket info:  To purchase tickets go to www.gofan.co and search for Howell High School and select the football game from the menu.  You may also click on this link to go directly to the page  Howell vs Hartland Football Ticket Link
  • Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from Hartland HS (ask if you need a ride - Smigell will help you find a ride with another student (don't be afraid to ask)). 
  • Be sure to bring home your instrument Friday after school - there will be no way to get into the band room Friday evening (and remember to bring them back to school on Monday). Parents are welcome to cheer on the band / football team.
