Dear FIRST PLACE Marching Band Student and Parent, Let’s “TOOT OUR HORN”: What a remarkable weekend we just had! At our evening show, our band won FIRST PLACE BAND IN CLASS, which included FIRST PLACE drum major, percussion, music, and general effect. We also took a FIRST PLACE in our afternoon show in the categories of drum major and marching. I am so happy for our band - students, leaders, parents, staff! We work so hard and do it in a way that is so healthy and makes even a very challenging day enjoyable. Mr. Mares was elated upon hearing the news of our accomplishments; we truly are the #1 ambassador for Athens Drive! The logistics for this Saturday will be MUCH EASIER! (And much more comfortable as the heat is supposed to break Friday evening…) First of all, there is no home football game, so you are FREE on Friday evening! Yay!!!
