JA Band member Will Tribble on the sideline before his solo performance of the National Anthem before the game Friday, from the Clarion Ledger online gallery.
Thanks to all the parents who helped at the first home football game Friday night, either in the visitors' concession stand or with equipment at halftime.
Thanks also to JA Art teacher Chelsea Sekanic for finishing her "trompe l'oeil" work on the prop piano:
