Football Season Friday’s home Senior Night Game on October 10 will mark the end of our regular

season football pep band. Congratulations to the band on a very successful sea-

son and to our football playing band members: Victor Albaine, Landon Diekhoff,

Kellen Thomas, Brent Koughn, and Spencer Kuehl!

I will be in contact with Coach Moore and get the word out as soon as we know if

we will be performing at any home sectional games.

Basketball is Upon Us! With the 2nd quarter comes the beginning of basketball season! Our official pep

band calendar is still under administrative review, but I will be uploading a tenta-

tive calendar to the website soon. The group will be divided into two bands: Blue

Band and White Band, with the rivalry games being “All Calls.” Our first home

game will be a Blue Band game on Friday, November 14, Girls vs. Franklin. Go

Pirates!

Always barefoot, this pirate plays an instru-ment that used to belong to her mom.
