There will also be a high school football game dedicated as “8^th grade band night” that all NAMS and PKMS 8^th grade band members will be expected to attend. 8^th grade band members will be guests of the Jacket Regiment and will be invited to play in the stands with the band. Dress will be signature shirts and jeans. 8^th graders will also get a field advantage view of the Jacket Regiment half time show. Ms. Jenkins will send this date home as soon as it is determined.
