Commission to support Wayne High military appreciation night with shirts, flag ceremony and volunteers

Commission members outlined duties for the Wayne High School military appreciation night, including handing out event shirts at gate tables, coordinating a large flag unfurling on the field and arranging band and cheerleader participation. The Chair said approximately 14 families have been identified so far to be honored and asked members who plan to attend to provide names to the school contact to secure free tickets.

Members discussed volunteer scheduling (arrive by about 6 p.m. for a 7 p.m. kickoff, gates open at 5:30 p.m.) and how shirts and bands are handled prior to game time. The Chair described last year’s format — service flags and family recognition — and said the commission would likely repeat the approach while integrating new features (jumbotron family-name displays and a possible light show).
