A few things:
* We're now 1.5 weeks away from contest! Please be touching your instrument DAILY so that we're prepared for your performance!
* Congratulations to Ms. Anderson and our Winter Guard! Our Winter Guard traveled to Lubbock Cooper yesterday to compete in our first winter guard competition in MANY years! (At least 11... can any alumni help out with an exact date?) They gave a great performance and have the opportunity to grow and improve before our next performance on March 20th in Greenwood. Go Guard!
