Written By Sam Jacobs

This week, the Marching Hawks are back to work preparing for their next competition at Woodgrove High School on Saturday, October 17th. While there’s no home football game this Friday, the band will rehearse Friday from 3:15pm to 5:00pm.

There are still a few volunteer opportunities available for the competition. Please check SignUpGenius to see what roles are still open and sign up for the role that interests you. If you can’t volunteer but still want to see the Dare to Dream show, come out to the Woodgrove Classic at 5:00pm on Saturday. After this weekend, there’s only one more opportunity to see the students perform this show in competition.
