Band Camp T-Shirt

Winton Woods High School seniors Kristen (left) and Katelyn Budke designed this year’s band camp t-shirt which pays homage to the iPod Shuffle. The half-time show is called "Shuffle” and opens with Herbie Hancock’s “Rock it” from 1983, then shuffles to 2007and the “Cupid Shuffle,” then shuffles again to current music with Cee Lo Green’s 2010 hit “Forget You,” and then shuffles just a little to the closing hit, Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite.”
