Weekly Update

What a great weekend for the Marching Pride! First, we cheered on our football team as they claimed an exciting win over Gulf Coast HS and then they had an outstanding performance at the CCPS Band Show! The Band Show drew in a full house last Saturday and it was amazing to see all seven high school marching bands perform to show off their talents. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the bands and thank you especially to all of those who volunteered their time to help run the event!
 
Congratulations to last week’s Marchers of the Week: David Hernandez-Lora, Christopher Salazar, Cameron Rimmer, Daniela Cadavid, and Eric Robinson!
