Day Two of our magnificent weekend of celebration. Turn back the clock to Homecoming, Dances and the Bennett Football Games. Get your Blue and Orange ready for Tiger Pride!!
Saturday morning starts with our HUGE parade celebrating our Blue and Orange Spirit. We will meet in the school parking lot. Genah Lasby and her cheerleading squad have big plans to decorate our cars and parade our Tiger spirit around the city just prior to the FOOTBALL GAME.
Our Championship Tiger Football Team kicks off at All High Stadium.(Time to be determined.) If you haven’t been back to Buffalo since your high school days, All High has been thoroughly updated. A turf playing field, state of the art track and lighting make our venue just as competitive as our neighboring suburbs.
As a part of the excitement of the game, our cheerleaders will be performing all of their routines. We are hoping that our alumni will put on their Bennett colors, bring their letter sweaters and, for our former cheerleaders, put on your outfits and join us in rooting on the teams.
Our students will be conducting a fundraiser selling food during the game to support their activities.
Saturday afternoon will be open for those who want to explore the waterfront and tour Canalside. Much focus has been placed on utilizing the water, as a family-friendly destination.
If you haven’t been in the area, you will want to spend a few hours seeing and experiencing what transformations have taken place. The fall foliage will be just appearing and the mild weather will be just right for strolling down by the water.
5:00 PM
