In addition, the district has asked that we attend a marching band showcase at the Star on Tuesday, October 4th. (6:00pm – 10:00pm)This event is optional.
We had planned on buying a block of tickets and then taking the student to and from the game via school bus. Frisco ISD transportation informed us yesterday that buses will NOT be available for this event because of all the high school bands needing all the available buses for high school bands. We encourage you and your family to attend but we cannot provide transportation. Tickets are only $3 each. Click on this link to purchase your tickets. The Clark Band did not order any tickets.
