Band Will March at Away Games, Too

Nearly $10,000 in donations will allow the Marching Mustangs to accompany the  to all but one away game this season.

The band won't be joining the team in Gahanna, OH tonight, where they'll play Lincoln High School, but it would have been difficult to get the band there anyway because of bus availability, according to School Board President Jennifer Sinisgalli.

But they're planning to be with the team when it takes on Padua next Friday.

"It looks like they're close to getting everything they need," Sinisgalli said.

She said contributions totalling about $8,000 have come in from private donors and civic organizations. The district has a verbal promise for the last $1,900.

Last year, the also traveled to away games because of large donations from three contributors, she said.

Sinisgalli said it's "not too disappointing" the band isn't traveling tonight to Gahanna, which is near Columbus, because of the logistics of getting there.

"The rest of the season, they're on," she said.
