Calling all Wildcat Band Students!! We need your help to design this year’s spirit shirt! What would you like to wear? What color? What logo? Do you have a creative idea? See the flyer below for more info! No need to have design software or something “professional,” We will take the winning ideas/sketches and work with the T-shirt company to finalize the product.
Any questions?? Please contact Kristin Roan – kristin.roan@gmail.com.
