The KCSD Athletic Department is going cashless for entry this year. You have two options for admission: Option A: Purchase a ticket in advance https://kennett.hometownticketing.com/embed/all Option B: Scan the QR code and essentially use the same website list above later. I recommend purchasing the tickets in advance. Tickets are $5 per spectator. When the props are completed and we need assistance, Roadies will get a KCSD lanyard and enter free of charge. The game tonight vs. Upper Dublin will require all students, friends, parents, and family members to pay the $5 General Admission. The gate fee goes directly to the KCSD Athletic Department. Friends of Music volunteers will need to inquire with Mr. Harvey about admission for Chick-Fil-A and Spirit Wear sales. Andrew Whisler KHS Bands The Camp Schedule needs to change due to an adjustment to the Open House schedule by KHS Administration. This change was made last week and was not communicated to me until recently. With this being said, thank you for your patience.
