This past Friday’s game was bittersweet for me as I have a Senior percussion player. I am grateful for all the memories we have made with the FCMB and Music Mentors. I wish all the Seniors nothing but the best as they soon will embark on new adventures!!

On another note, football season has officially been extended for the Mentor Cardinals! We have playoff game #1 this Friday, November 2nd at 7 pm at home! The Cards will take on Strongsville is the first round and we are hoping for a win!!
