Woodside Wildcats Varsity Football Game
Members of the Hillview Band have been invited to join the Woodside High Pep and Marching Band in the stands and possibly on the field during the Woodside Wildcats varsity football game against South San Francisco High.
Mr. Baker, Woodside's Music Director, is working on providing free t-shirts and feeding everyone who participates. All parents are encouraged to attend and will be given free tickets to the game.
I believe this will be a really fun opportunity for our students. As well, for anyone considering high schools, Woodside High's music program has the only marching band in the Sequoia District. They also have a concert band, jazz band, orchestra and choir. The band's drum line is exceptional!
