Congratulations to our Marching Pride Seniors! We enjoyed the Class of 2021 Senior Night and hope you did as well. Thank you to our Band Boosters, SGA, and Activities for all of their help and support in making the event possible! Pictures have been posted on the PRHS Band Facebook and Instagram.

We really enjoyed seeing the Marching Pride in full uniform last Friday night! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with us during rehearsals so we couldn’t show all of the drill that the students learned. We’re looking forward to presenting even more on the field at our next home game on Friday, November 6th against Bishop Verot.

In case you missed it on the calendar, please note that there is a home playoff game against Port Charlotte on Friday, November 13th. The students have already been informed of this addition to the calendar and they all have been told that they are expected to perform and attend the game. If the team wins the playoff game on November 13th, there will be another home playoff game on Friday, November 20th and the Marching Pride will be in attendance at that game as well to cheer on the Bears!
