We wish all teams the best this season and remind these students and their families to enjoy the experience!

HIT: To increased numbers for the Auburn Vanguard marching band.
This year's competing field band has about 60 members, a dramatic jump from a year ago when the numbers were closer to 20 students. This year's band has been working hard on its competition performance, and gave the community a preview of it with a show at the high school on Friday night.
Good luck to the Vanguard in the season ahead, and have fun!
