Blood Drive
Student Council is sponsoring a Blood Drive. Donations will be March 29th.Pep Band
The Mercer County High School Pep Band was selected from many schools to perform at the IHSA Class 1A and 2A Girls Basketball State finals on Saturday, February 27th at Illinois State University in Bloomington. Mr. Ruggles and the pep band were very excited and honored to be able to play for this event. Students performed during the 3rd place and the championship games for both 1A and 2A girls basketball. The students rocked the Redbird Arena with their favorite songs and found the crowd singing and chanting along with their show. After their first two sets many students were approached from adult spectators thanking them for a great job. Several parents drove to hear the performance and were thrilled with the crowd’s reaction to the band.
