Trumpet in hand, a band member plays a pep tune for the crowd. Band students decorated their instruments with glow sticks. "Playing music in the dark made it so much more enjoyable," sophomore Amber Stogsdill said. "I really liked being able to decorate with glow sticks and have fun."

Click the photo above, as well as the video, to catch a look at the fourth pep rally of the year, held Friday, Dec. 4. Two groups — juniors and seniors — attended this social-distanced event in the arena to watch the performances of the groups who organized the black-out production. Freshmen and sophomores who did not have a specific role in the homecoming pep rally watched via a live-stream link in their classrooms. Football, basketball, volleyball and All-Region Phase 2 band students claimed run-in entrances along with other performance teams. The Talonettes performed and worked with the cheerleaders and student council to prepare all segments.
