Fans attending this Friday's home football game will be treated to the first performance of the Marching Mustangs 2011 field show It's About Time: 50 Years of MHS. The band will perform a variety of songs related to time including Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show and Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years. The band will also perform their traditional pregame show prior to kick.
