For music performances we have The Ramonos (Jefferson High School student band) and The 952 Crew (Kennedy High School student band).  We will also be having an awesome DJ throughout the night with fun games and other activities.  Make sure and get your registration packet in by May 1st to guarantee yourself the correct size t-shirt.
