Bravo Marching Band!    Great first outing on Friday night!  Mr. Hupe & I were very proud of your accomplishments for pre-game and half-time as well as in the stands. Thanks to ALL the parents who helped make Friday night a success – with the truck, chaperones, tailgate, pictures/video, and others I’m not even aware of.
