We had a great time in A-Town!
We are thrilled to announce that our students, staff, and parent volunteers did an incredible job at the contest in Andalusia last Saturday. The band was simply amazing and scored straight superiors in every caption, and came in fourth overall out of thirty bands! Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this outstanding performance.
This week, we are back to our regular schedule with rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday, an away game at Milton HS on Friday, and District Marching Festival at Ft. Walton Beach H.S. on Saturday. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for our students to attend all rehearsals and performances.
Moreover, since the contest on Saturday is at FWB HS, we encourage more parents to attend and support our students. It will mean a lot to them.
Thank you, and see you on Saturday!
