And the winner for best game day program is ... the C. Milton Wright girls soccer team!

I caught up with the Mustangs on Monday when they hosted Harford County rival Fallston and was greeted at the gate with a top-of-the line program that included a roster, photos and biographies of all the team's senior players. This thing even had advertising in it.

One of the best games of the season followed with some of the most highly-skilled players in the area on display. For fans at the game, I'm sure it was nice to be able to place the names with the numbers they were seeing on the players' backs.

From a self-serving standpoint, it would be great to have programs at every game I go out to (please make sure all names are spelled correctly and it's a bonus if you also include the opposing teams' roster).

Putting together a program is ideal practice for students interested in a writing or design career. Get creative, ask for extra credit, raise some money maybe and help make the game-day experience that much more enjoyable to proud parents and supporters.
