Playoffs Continue - YAY!



Since our Tigers took care of those pesky Gophers last Friday - especially in the 2nd half of the game - we've got more playoff football coming our way! This time it's the Grants Pass Cavemen - no, really.  

The game is Friday November 15, here at good ol' THS. Pep only, in warm pep clothes. 6pm call time. If you are out of town, make sure to talk to Irving. Otherwise, we'll see you there!

Playoff Football!

Hello, band people!

Tonight is the 1st round of the 2013 OSAA 6A Football Playoffs, and we'll be pep, pep, pepping in the stands, playing for the dancing Tigerettes, performing our hometown encore presentation of our Championship show, and honoring our seniors - yay!

Call time for MB is 5:30 and for pep is 6pm. MB-types will be in full uniform; pepping folks will be wearing pep.

Parents have a special surprise for seniors - whoo hoo!
See you tonight...
