Friday, October 17, is Sanderson High School Marching Band "Futures Night"!!!
What is it?
Our 8th grade band students have been invited to play with the Sanderson High School Marching Band at a home football game!
This annual band event, called "Futures Night", is an opportunity for our students to see what band is like in high school, make new friends, and have a lot of fun together at the football game. Every year, the kids who participate have told me "I can't wait to do band in high school now, that was so much fun!" I hope you will make plans for your child to participate.
There will be a free pizza party supper for the participating band students, and their admission to the game is free. Family and friends would have to purchase a ticket to the football game if they want to attend the game.
