Weekly Update

What a great first game of the season! The Bears won 7-0 against South Fort Myers and the Marching Pride had an outstanding performance on the field! This week we plan on adding more drill to the show and hopefully introducing some of the field props!
 
Congratulations to our Marchers of the Week: Jason Viruet (woodwind), Jennifer Peralta (brass), Ashley Gutierrez (percussion), Susannah Glesmer (auxiliary), and Aubrie Engel (officer). Congratulations to our Section of the Week, the Flute Section led by section leaders Eve Nahs-Chandler and Hope Kordelski!

We’d like to thank all of our parents and students who gave their time to help at Publix this weekend, and a very special thank you to Mrs. Cary Rojas for organizing the fundraiser!

Parent Volunteers Needed!
