So thankful those kids are ok. They will be missed but their health and well being is so much more important. Important to remember this is just a game. As a loyal husky fan and alum many thanks to all who helped our kids out, in a time like this school colors shouldn’t matter.

As a former band Mom I can understand these kids wanting to be in familiar surroundings, near friends and family after such a harrowing experience. Their absence will be deafening at the #AppleCup2018 but I pray for every student, faculty and their families.

Poor things, they need to heal.

Kudos for this decision! We'll miss them but as you say the students' health & well-being is the most important thing ...sending good <<<vibes>>> their way ...and go Huskies!

All the best for a speedy recovery.

Hope everyone heals and recovers quickly. Thank you for this update. My son is part of the Husky band and he’s ok. Family sticks together. #goHuskies

Soooo glad that every one is okay... what a horrific experience for them. Understand why they won’t be there...and it will be more than evident to Husky Nation today just how valuable our “loyal band” is to the fans and the game
