Veterans Program At Northview High Postponed
November 6, 2007
The Veterans Program scheduled for 6:30 Tuesday night at Northview High School was postponed due to technical difficulties.
According to principal Gayle Weaver, the problem involves “the inability to have stage lighting”. The program will be postponed until a date to be determined.
“Northview High School apologizes for any inconvenience this postponement may cause to anyone; however, the postponement will allow the production to be seen in a better ‘light’,” Weaver said.
NorthEscambia.com will post the rescheduled date and time of the program as soon as it is announced.
