Tailgate Party

Families are asked to bring a dish to pass and their own pop or water. There will be no refrigeration so bring ice and a means to chill your dish if needed. You may bring your own chairs for after the performance, if you wish. Warren Mott Band Club will provide burgers, hot dogs, and paper goods.
