Farwell will NOT be attending Cadillac Marching Band Review this year.
It really is no fun trying to do a marching band show in the rain. And due to the fact that Farwell just got done with Homecoming Week I am not convinced that a late night out is worth performing in a gym. Beal City Information can be downloaded below. Clare and Cadillac will be downloadable soon - You can find Clare and Cadillac times both on the calendar already though. ![]()
