Our marching Highlanders were awesome on Thursday evening - what a wonderful performance! It was great to see everyone back out on the field AND in the stands! Thank you to everyone that helped make it a success! 💚💛
BAND APP - new communication tool for band families
A great way to get band updates! It's also how you can sign up to help or donate for the marching band tailgates! What is this great new communication tool? It's called "BAND" and here is the info you need to sign up for the app:

Tailgate for the Second Game * - THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND!
Before each home football game, the band boosters organize a tailgate for the marching band. For our second tailgate, we're having tacos! 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.
- Any tailgate questions? Please contact Jamie Miller at jamiehoward85@gmail.com
