Since we have students attending two high schools it is an expectation for each eighth grade student to attend one of the high school games listed below with the band. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the high school band program, students, and directors.

Students who live in the Newman Smith zone will go to the Newman Smith game and those who live in the Creekview zone will go to the Creekview game. YOU MAY GO TO BOTH.

In general, students who went to Sheffield will go to Newman Smith and students who went to Furneaux and Thompson will go to Creekview. Mr. Black can tell you where you are zoned for high school.

Every eighth grade student is expected to attend one of these games; seventh graders may attend if they want. Below is a general timeline for each.
