MHSAA: Let the Bands & Dance Teams Perform

The Issue

With the new EO-176 the MHSAA has reinstated Fall sports including Football. They are also letting Cheerleaders cheer at the games. This leaves out other kids who have worked so hard to follow the rules in their practices such as Band kids and Dance teams/Pom squads. These kids deserve to have their time as well and if anyone can do it safely and social distance its these kids. They could wait outside the gates till halftime and when the football teams go into the locker room they could enter, perform then leave. They could also perform while masked just like the other kids have been allowed to do. Please consider letting these kids shine just like the others are.
