Braden River High students gather to support Sam Woolf on 'American Idol'

For Braden River High students who attend the weekly "American Idol" watch parties in the school's auditorum, showing support for their classmate, Sam Woolf, is becoming part of their routine, until the show wraps up next month.

At 7 p.m. tonight, however, the Woolf Pack — the name the "American Idol" contestant's fans have coined themselves — will dress for the occassion.

As Woolf competes as one of the show's top 11, March 12, he will perform a "song from the cinema" — the show's theme this week. To change things for this watch party, students attending tonight, will sport costumes representing their favorite movie characters.

Should Woolf receive enough votes tonight to move forward in the competition this week, he will progress on to the show's top 10. In previous seasons, the top 10 contestants, regardless of how far they make it beyond that point, will make up the "American Idol" nationwide tour this summer.

No decision has been made, yet, as to the number of touring contestants to hit the road this year.

Tune in to FOX from 8 to 10 p.m. March 12 to watch Woolf perform.
