Pocahontas Marching Redskins will be participating in the Region V Marching Assessment on Monday, October 19th at our own football stadium. The performance will begin at 4:30pm on Monday and will last about 15 minutes. Admission is free but supporters will need to have a voucher to enter the west gate. Students and families may pick up vouchers from the band room.
Friday, October 16th - PHS 2020 Homecoming. The following are the guidelines for this event.
-A voucher is needed to enter for coronation or the football game.
-One voucher is good for one entrance fee - $4 for adults and $3 for students.
-Upon entrance into the stadium, a voucher must be presented and taken by the gate worker. (You will not keep your voucher.)
-Coronation begins at 6:20 p.m. at Schoonover Stadium.
-Redskin Football will begin at 7:00 p.m.
-If someone has a voucher and plans to attend coronation only, they will give the gate worker their voucher and pay. Then they may exit after the coronation ceremony. As they exit, they may receive a voucher to give to someone who is wanting to attend the football game. The person receiving the voucher would still have to pay upon entering the stadium.
-No Re-entry without a voucher and without paying.
-Please remember to bring all items that you will need, during the coronation or the game, as you enter the stadium. (Stadium seats, blankets, coats, cameras, etc.) No leaving and re-entry without a voucher and without paying.
On Monday, October 19th the Pocahontas Marching Redskins will be performing their 2020 show in front of judges for our Region Competition. This performance is what qualifies the group to attend the State Championship at War Memorial Stadium.
Due to Covid, this year the state has decided this would be the best way to keep our students safe by sending judges to each school instead of everyone in the region showing up at the same location. With that being said, we would love to have an amazing audience to cheer our students on. Parents, faculty, and our community are welcome to attend this event. We will be handing out vouchers for the performance and mask/social distancing are a requirement. Vouchers will be handed out at the Band room office starting Friday. This is a FREE event!
It will be a short and sweet performance starting at 4:30pm!
Our performance will also be lived streamed on Facebook at this link https://fb.me/e/cyUgctpOM
