The Nacogdoches High School band and Dragonettes will sit in the north end of the home side on Friday.
The new home for the band and drill team will be bleachers installed on the south end of Dragon Stadium, but netting that would be used to keep kicked balls from getting into the stands did not arrive in time to be installed before Friday’s season opener.
Once the netting is installed, the band and drill team will be much closer to the home stands on the west side of the stadium.
Nacogdoches High School opens the season at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Palestine. The next varsity game at Dragon Stadium will be Sept. 13 when Livingston visits for Homecoming.
