Hi Mom! We're On TV!!!

The Tigard/Tualatin football game on Friday October 4 (next week) has been selected as the Game O' the Week for KATU - yay! And what that means to us is, assuming we win, KATU will broadcast their High School Blitz program LIVE from Tigard High that night, and we'll be the in-house band! Double yay! High School Blitz airs LIVE from 11:30 - 12 midnight. Yes, that's really late, but it's ok - we can all sleep in on Saturday. Yes, even Marching Band, because our competition prelim performance isn't until mid-afternoon!

Call time for Friday's TV performance will be 11 pm. Hey, maybe we can get some nice people to buy pizza for us! If so, we'll probably get  together around 10:30. (And BTW, if for some strange reason Tigard DOES NOT WIN, we WILL NOT be on TV - Tualatin will. That is a very remote possibility. This website and Facebook will be updated with game results that night.)

To make sure we're able to get everything done that we need to, pit members will meet at THS at 3:30 to load the trailer and truck for the Southridge show. (We'll plan to load the rest of the instruments - drums, large horns, etc - Saturday before we leave. Southridge schedule will be posted soon.)

If you CAN NOT come to the TV performance, please send McKee an email. That way, we'll know what our instrumentation looks like.

THS Band on TV?? YAY!
