I want to give a huge shout out to the Black Gold Percussion Ensemble as well as the Winter Guard for 2 outstanding performances at Pace HS this past Saturday. Both groups finished strong in their classes. These groups will have one more competitive performance at the University of South Alabama on on March 30th for the GCGPC Circuit Championships. You will not want to miss this performance at a wonderful venue.
Finally, we are still in need of help with the Black & Gold Beats and Eats Music Festival on April 13th. This was formerly the MHS Band Crawfish festival. We are slowly getting more and more vendors everyday, but could definitely use more! Please send this link out to anyone interested to fill out our online vendor application.
