What's in a preview?

Does that cover picture look familiar?

• It should to any music fans out there.

• It's our take, high school football-style, on The Beatles album cover of the iconic "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

• The Bee is taking a musical approach to our annual high school football preview, "The Hits Keep On Coming."

• We've taken high school football players and made them rock stars for a day.

• Those players are portraying well-known musical artists in some of their most well-known album covers. They span from The Beatles to Eminem and Justin Timberlake.

To borrow half of a line from our cover's title song … It's High School Football 2008, we hope you enjoy the show.
