Lycoming College will welcome the Montoursville Area High School Marching Warrior Band and cheerleaders to David Person Field at Girardi Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 1 p.m. for a true “meeting of the Warriors.”

The Montoursville Marching Warrior Band will perform throughout the game from the stands and present its 2025 halftime show, “Fire It Up,” on the field. Fans can expect a fiery mix of crowd favorites and mashups, including “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” “Hot Stuff,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Firework,” and “Fireball.”

The band is led by Christopher Morgan, Montoursville Area High School band director and a 2018 Lycoming College alumnus.

“Our students are thrilled to have the chance to perform at Lycoming College and bring our Warrior Spirit to a college game day,” said Morgan. “It’s exciting to showcase our halftime production to a wider audience and to celebrate Warrior pride together with the Lycoming community.”

Lycoming College values opportunities to connect with the region’s schools and showcase the talents of local students.

Hosting Montoursville’s musicians and cheerleaders underscores the strong role that community music and spirit programs play in preparing young people for leadership, teamwork, and performance at the next level.

“I am excited for this collaboration between Lycoming and the Montoursville marching band and cheer squad for the experience it provides to local students and the ways it will enhance our game day environment,” said Glenn Smith ’07, director of athletics development. “I anticipate a tremendous showing of community support for Montoursville’s students and Lycoming’s student-athletes, which will make this day truly special.”

The Montoursville cheerleading squad and coaches will also bring their school spirit and energy to the sidelines, joining Lycoming fans to cheer on the home team.

Lycoming College will host The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in this matchup. Tickets for the game are $5 for adults and $3 for senior citizens and students ages 13 and older.

Lycoming students are admitted free with a College ID, and children under 12 also receive free admission. Tickets are available for purchase at the gate on game day. For directions and details about David Person Field at Girardi Stadium, see Lycoming Athletics’ facilities page.

Community members, families, and alumni are invited to attend and show their support for both sets of Warriors.
