TOPEKA — Iola High junior-to-be Emily Klubek is in Topeka this week to share her musical talents as part of the 2013 Kansas Shrine Bowl.
Klubek will join more than 200 other musicians as part of the Kansas Shrine Bowl Band.
She arrived in Topeka Tuesday for a band camp and will march in Saturday’s parade and perform during halftime of the football game, pitting of some of the brightest gridiron stars in Kansas.
Klubek’s father, Kelly, shared a saying about Emily’s philosophy toward high school band.
“Not to take anything away from the game and the athletes, but without the band, it is just a game,” Kelly Klubek said.
Young Klubek plays the trumpet.
Her dream is to participate in a drum and bugle corps.
The 40th annual Shrine Bowl will kick off at 7 p.m. at Washburn University’s Yager Stadium.
Tickets and additional information are available at www.kansasshrinebowl.com, or by calling (800) 530-5524.
Among the football stars participating in Saturday’s game is former Crest standout Kyle Hammond, who will take his football pursuits to Fort Scott Community College this fall.
