Feb. 1 performance @ Reeves stadium - telecast nationally!!

2011-11-21T07:02:00.000-08:00

Here's the info from Jim Van Zandt:

Congrats on the great showing (as usual) at Lone Star, and on the fabulous work you and your kids do every day!

I have an opportunity for your group that I hope you will accept. On February 1, the NFL sponsored Football USA team is playing at Reeves! It is a game between America and an "international" team, and it will be telecast nationally! It is also the day of the official "signing" of football players.

Jim Loerwald has asked if we could provide something for halftime. I'm hoping that you guys will put something together for this! It can be reprising something from the fall, or perhaps from your winter/spring competiton show, or anything else.

Can you let me know? It will be a big deal in the community and in the district.

Check the date!!!
