This photo will commemorate your team’s historical involvement in the 2011 Battle at the Capital. We are planning to stage this photo in front of a Military Humvee mounted with a .50 Caliber Machine Gun (your head coach can possibly pose behind the gun), possibly a fire truck, and/or a staged flown in Chinook helicopter (we are still scheduling the props). It is our goal, during your game, to print the 11x17 photos with your team name, logo, and be available to take home with you. All this for a small donation purchase of $30.00. This photo will surely be a fantastic collector’s item (THE PARENTS AND FANS WILL LOVE IT!). Please come prepared and you don’t want to miss this! Please do not arrive late to your respected game or you can miss your window to take your photo. A schedule of tentative team photo times will be in a upcoming email.
