If, The Band is composed of: Andrew Easterling '16 - guitar/vocals Thomas Stephenson- guitar/vocals Wrigley Burris-...
Everyone loves a good weekend baseball game. Walking into the gates of any baseball stadium, one cannot be anything but excited and hungry for a hot dog and some peanuts. This past Sunday, May 1, was an extra treat for many Jesuit families as it was Jesuit Day for the Texas Rangers. Fans got to enjoy discounted tickets, special...
