Walled Lake Central to Perform at Lions Thanksgiving Game

The students will be on the field and on stage during the half-time show.

The Walled Lake Central High School Marching Band has been chosen to perform during halftime of the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game on Nov. 28 at Ford Field.
 
Members of the band will be on the field during the halftime show and some members will be on stage with Michigan native singer/songwriter, Tony Lucca.
 
The Walled Lake Central Pom team, cheerleaders and the Twirl M’s will also participate in this event.
 
The Detroit Lions organization will arrange transportation to and from the stadium for all practices, rehearsals and the game. They are also providing students with food and Standing Room Only tickets to the game. They are buying Lions colored flags for the band to use during the performance, as well as Color Guard uniforms for the performance.
 
The Detroit Lions are also making a donation to the band program.
 
“I am so happy for our kids to be able to experience this," said band director Dave Rogers. "This will be the largest audience we will have ever performed for and we are thankful to the Detroit Lions for this opportunity. We will do our best to make our community proud.”
