I would like to congratulate our Blackwater Beats Jazz Band, Black Gold Percussion Ensemble, and Winterguard for 3 outstanding performances this weekend! The Jazz band performed at the FBA Jazz MPA at PSC Friday night walking away with straight excellents across the board. The percussion and winterguard both performed at the Pace indoor competition with the percussion ranking first in the class and the winterguard ranking 3rd. We are all very proud of all of these wonderful students!
