We are asking for any interested student to submit a piece of artwork related to The Mighty Black and Gold Band and our famous Shish Kabobs. All artwork will then be posted and be voted on by the students. The winner will be announced at the Spring Concert on May 2nd and their artwork will then be painted onto the freezer.
