Get your horns, drums, flags and batons out and start practicing.
That's the message from Rachael Lewis of the Bluffton school music department.
Former Bluffton High School marching band members are invited to join the 2012-2013 Bluffton High School marching band for the pre-game football show on Friday, Aug. 31.
Lewis said, "This includes horns, woodwinds, percussion, flags and majorettes. Those who are able are welcome to march down from the high school to the field with the band prior to the game."
