This Friday, Oct 29, is the first playoff game of the season! Upper Arlington will be playing Thomas Worthington at HOME. While there is no spread planned, the students will be fed prior to the game Oct 29. The students should plan to be at school at 4:30 for the pregame meal. As always, parent volunteers are needed to help make this a great night for the band. Please visit the Signup Genius and help out, especially if you haven’t helped with events yet
