Harrisonville Middle School is inviting all local veterans to be honored guests at the annual Veterans Day Assembly.

The event is set for Friday, Nov. 6, at 9:00 a.m. in the middle school gym. The assembly is a special opportunity for students and the community to recognize the service of military members.

The program will include a special recognition ceremony for all branches of the military and attending veterans. Performances will be given by the Wildcat Chorale and HMS Band.

Harrisonville High School will present its upcoming musical production, "Ride the Cyclone," Nov. 12-14 and 20-21 at 7 p.m. in the HHS Performing Arts Center.

Ride the Cyclone (Teen Edition) is a musical by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. They then awake in limbo with the chance to return to life.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, staff, and senior citizens, and $5 for HHS Theatre alumni. Tickets can be purchased online at https://cur8.com/20496/project/141478.
