Football Playoffs, Round Two!

Our football boys are hosting Newberg (surprise!) for the 2nd round of the OSAA playoffs, so we're going to pep, pep, pep in the stands, AND we're going to present an encore performance of our award-winning field show for our home crowd! Here are the details:

• Call time for everyone is 6pm
• MB will be in uniform, and decorations are highly encouraged
• Rumor has it there may be occasional dabbing, ala Dave and Craig
• We'll be finished when the game is over, and this will (really) be the final field performance of our show
• If/when the boys win, we will follow them to their next location and pep, pep, pep - either Lincoln (Portland) or Sheldon (Eugene) next Friday

See you all then!
