We're kicking off the 2017 4Frenzy season by compiling a list of the best high school traditions in Metro Detroit. What does your team or school pass through the years? Share your traditions using the form below, or email us at: clickondetroit@wdiv.com
Submissions are open to current and past students, and we have a broad definition of tradition. It can be something your team did, or it can be a long-standing tradition over generations. Traditions aren't limited to sports teams. We'd love to hear from theater groups, school clubs, marching bands, cheerlanding and dance squads and more.
