Jorgenson, a sophomore, is the only male competitor on the team this season.
This event will add to the expected influx of visitors for Band Day, with some 70 girls and 40 boys registered to take part from across the state.
Adding to those numbers you can expect approximately 400 individuals to be involved in this outing alone.[/align]
