Spanish Show Field Music - Now Named

The 2010 marching field show music is now officially titled "Cartas de Amor" - Love Letters (in Spanish).

After selecting a show of music with a Spanish/Latin flavor, I wanted to have a show title that communicated that "Spanish" origin.

I like the new show title. Thanks to Jerry for the suggestion.

Spain - Focus of this Week

After 2 homegames, homecoming, school assembly, and a Saturday rehearsal (whew!) the Cougar Band will now focus on putting it together from TopTop to end of Spain!

Rest up, stay well.

September 11th

Remember!
