As Homecoming Week draws closer, so does the annual Powder Puff Game featuring Male Escadrille at half-time show.

The game is scheduled for Thursday Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. It is $5 for admission, which will go to charity. There’s no family rate for the game, and Super Fan passes will not work since this is a charity event. Likewise, Rockwood staff outside of Lafayette will have to pay to enter the game.

On the day of the Powder Puff Game, participating girls must wear either their jersey or all black to school and the game. Girls must wear something under their jersey (more than a bandeau or a sports bra) to both school and the game. Those who wish to participate in Running of the Halls will meet on the shelf of the Commons at 7:50 a.m the morning of the game.

There will be a final practice after school from 4:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. If you intend to play, you must meet on the Lower Practice Field before 5:30 p.m.

“The teams that have the most combined practices will start and have more field time the day of the game,” Arnett said.
