Senior Night was wonderful! It was a great celebration for the seniors and the band performed their show at half time. Definitely some tears were shed as the seniors took their final walk across the field. On Saturday, we had wonderful weather and the the band placed fourth out of eleven competitors with a Caption in Percussion. Great Job Marching Matadors!
