Fill the Stands for Our Marching Band Seniors! 🥁🎺

SHMPA Community, we need your help to give our high school marching band seniors the celebration they truly deserve!

Due to circumstances outside of the band’s control, their original Senior Night was canceled.
Unfortunately, the potential replacement date conflicts with the band’s schedule, as they will be in Pennsylvania competing at Nationals!

Because of this, the marching band will be holding their own special event this Friday at 7:00 PM at the high school football field.

We will kick off with the recognition ceremony honoring our seniors and their families, followed by a full performance of their show.

The entire event will run for approximately 45 minutes.

If you are free, please join us in filling the stands and showing these hard-working seniors how much our community appreciates their dedication and effort this season. Let's make this a night to remember!

📍 Where: Shepherd Hill Football Field
⏰ When: Friday at 7:00 PM

Come out, be loud, and show your support!
