UPDATED ***9/12 Game Day Schedule
This is the information I have on the Game Day Schedule. Please add to it or correct it wherever possible. I will make edits to the original posting to make sure the initial post is as accurate and complete as possible.
Band Members, any help on halftime or postgame band contributions would be greatly appreciated.
Rah.
