River Bowl!

The River Bowl is the annual football game played between Shasta High School and crosstown rival, Enterprise. The annual game has been played for over 50 years with Enterprise holding a slight edge at 32 - 28 - 1. In 1993, the two coaches came up with the idea to name it after the Sacramento River, which flows through the middle of town, and allow the winning team to hold the coveted trophy for the entire year. Although coaches, players, teachers, and students have changed, the rivalry continues to be the highlight of the football season for both schools.

This year the River Bowl is Friday, October 26th at 7:30pm. This is an event for Advanced Band students. Students need to be at the band room at Shasta High School at 5:30pm to enjoy a tailgate barbeque with the high school band. Warm-ups will begin shortly after 6pm and you will march to the field with the high school band soon after. Students need to wear a black sweatshirt (band or plain), or another Sequoia sweatshirt or t-shirt. If you do not have one of these options, let Mrs. Wiseman know. If you are not able to attend, you must notify Mrs. Wiseman in advance. Students are asked to stay through half time so they can watch the field show performed by the Shasta High School Band. After half time the students are dismissed, and you may stay for the rest of the game or go home. The band takes a break during the 3rd quarter but returns to play in the 4th quarter, so students can stay and continue to play along with the band. Expect the game to be over somewhere around 10:00pm, afterwards the bands will walk back to the band room to be picked up.

Parents, you and any additional family members must each have a ticket to get into the River Bowl game! You are not allowed to follow the band and avoid buying a ticket. Tickets are $5.00 each, regardless if you are an adult, child or student with an ASB card.  It is advised that after you drop off your student for the tailgate barbeque, you head to the football field to purchase your tickets and find a place to sit. Typically the Shasta High parents sit in the section to the left <as you are facing the field> of the Blast Zone. The Blast Zone is in the mid-section of the bleachers and is reserved for the band during Varsity games. The River Bowl is a popular game and seats will fill up quickly, and the line for tickets will be long if you wait to purchase them too close to game time. There are also pre-sale tickets available for purchase from the main office at Shasta High School, they go on sale this Thursday, October 18th and will be on sale through Friday, October 26th at 3:30pm. There are a limited amount of pre-sale tickets available, so buy yours right away if you're interested.
