Last Thursday, our 8th grade band students were invited to join the JHS Marching Cavaliers for their last home football game at Howard Wood Field. The students had pizza with the band, sat with them in the stands and played pep band during the first half, and watched the Cavs put on an outstanding halftime performance.
Thank you to Mr. Macklin, Mr. Kurtz, and the Marching Cavaliers for the invitation and for giving our students a behind-the-scenes look at high school marching band.
We're excited to see these Future Cavs on the field next year!
