Marching Virginians to make a special appearance Friday night

The Central Savannah River Area Alumni Chapter in Augusta, Ga., has been coordinating with Columbia County and the Virginia Tech Alumni Association to bring Tech’s Marching Virginians, cheerleaders and the HokieBird to Augusta to play in a special halftime performance at Lakeside High School on Friday, Sept 4 prior to Saturday’s Virginia Tech-Alabama game in Atlanta. Lakeside High School is where Ryan Clark, a Virginia Tech student among the 32 victims who lost their lives on April 16, 2007, was a member of the Lakeside Band. Clark was also a leader in the Marching Virginians at Tech and, like all of those who died, had many special talents and gifts. Those headed to Atlanta and would like additional details about this special performance by Tech’s band and cheerleaders, please contact Greg Fansler at the Virginia Tech Alumni Association at gfansler@vt.edu.
