Football Tickets Friday night come cheer on the Marching Flashes and the Football Flashes as we host Perry Meridian. Tickets for the game can be purchased here: https://gofan.co/app/school/IN840 It is vitally important that if you purchase tickets, you intend to stay for the entire football game. If you are there just to see the band performance, please simply come to our Thursday night preview performance on Thursday, 8/27 at 8pm. We are lucky that we can perform as long as we have a field. The football team needs another football team to "perform" so let's make sure tickets are available to their fans (which may include you!). All subsequent Thursday evening rehearsals will have a performance aspect to the them from 8-8:30pm. Again, if you buy tickets, stay for the game, please. Note that the band will begin marching to the stadium from the school at Door 3W at 6:40pm. This is a great time for proud parents to take photos and video of this tradition, especially during “The Year of the Mask”.
Show Shirts and Button Photos We will be passing out show shirts to students during the Thursday, August 20 practice. We will also be taking photos of the students wearing their new shirt to be used in the spirit buttons. Again, this will happen during the practice. Students will be dismissed by section to fetch the shirt and have the photo taken. Every family will receive one free spirit button. We will give students the spirit button and an order form to purchase additional buttons for $2 each. This will happen in the coming weeks. Every mom needs a spirit button!
