MVCA has informed us that they have no room for the band or band fans at their stadium. They have increased their enrollment and campus and are hopeful to be able to accommodate our band and fans in the future. The athletic director and I have been trying to find a solution with their athletic department. I just received the final no for the band on Friday night.
