Fall is in the air at South High School............

The stadium at South High School was abuzz with fall activities tonight as the South football program and the 2012 Marching Mustangs provided public displays of their intensive week of learning.

Between the sophomore and varsity football "blue and white" scrimmages, the Marching Mustangs performed their fall competition show entitled "Some Assembly Required."  The stands had the crowd and the intensity of Friday night home football game.

Special thanks to all the constituents in the South High School learning community that collaborated to make this evening possible for all the students on the field tonight.  A very special thanks to the Mustang Band Boosters for their role taking care of the students in the band during this past week of Band Camp.  If tonight is any indication, Friday nights in the South High School stadium this fall will be truly special events throughout the entire evening.
