Just as Summer Creek High School contested its first varsity football game this weekend, the Bulldog marching band also was making its first appearance under the Friday night lights. Pulling students from five campuses last year and three this year has made building community among Summer Creek’s teams and organizations that much more challenging, said band director Michael Holt. “It’s a work in progress,” he said. “You can say that for the band, but I think you can say that for every organization in the school. We’re all waiting to grow.”
