Congratulations to the Marching Pride for earning STRAIGHT SUPERIOR ratings at Marching MPA for the 10th year in a row! The bands were rated in music (twice), marching and maneuvering, general effect, percussion, and auxiliary. Our students have worked so hard all season, and we’re so proud of all that they’ve accomplished! Thank you to all of our staff members who have all worked tirelessly with the Marching Pride this season: Joseph Bigler, Mario Mistretta, Annamarie Magdaleno, Madison Rainey, Anthony Claro and Lauryn Feliciano. Thank you for sharing your talents and passion with the students of the Marching Pride!
 
We’d like to thank all of our parent volunteers who helped out with chaperoning, truck crew, and concessions—especially those who came out to help last minute this past Friday night! Our student success depends on the support of our parents and band boosters. Thank you so much for all that you do for our program and students. 
 
Lastly, we’d like to thank our seniors once again for their accomplishments, hard work, and leadership . Thank you seniors for working with us for the past 4 years. We’ve come a long way from One Small Step!
