Announcements:

  • THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU are not enough in words to tell you how grateful that I am for each of you that helped out in anyway with our invitational yesterday! It was a great representation of the "Pioneer Spirit" and how we do it at Gibson County! I got many compliments from band directors, parents, and spectators about how we run our contest! I tried to find many of you through out the day or at the end of the night to tell you "Thank You" for volunteering yesterday. If I missed you please know I am very thankful for your hard work and dedication to make our competition a success yesterday! Mr. Brockman heard from one band director who said that compared to Memphis, state, etc. there is NO CONTEST AS GOOD AS OURS BECAUSE OF OUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS! MANY MANY THANKS TO EACH OF YOU! I wanted to hit the "like button" when I read both Kim and the Halliburton's emails this morning!

  • Midterm Exams are this week! 1st and 3rd block exams are THIS THURSDAY. 2nd and 4th block exams are THIS FRIDAY. We do NOT have a midterm exam in band. These exams are worth 20% of your students grade for nine weeks. Be sure they are studying and are prepared for each of their exams!

  • Friday Night is FB @ Adamsville! The game begins at 7:00. We will meet at 4:00 for immediate departure. Students will need money to eat from concessions once we arrive. They will also need all clothing needed for full uniform. Ride Home Forms for Friday are due NO LATER THAN THIS THURSDAY @ 5:00!

  • On Saturday we have the Davy Crockett Parade and the Paragould Marching Invitational. We will meet at 12:30 for immediate departure to Rutherford for the parade. We will then leave there and head straight to Paragould for the contest. We will be on a VERY tight schedule in order to arrive at Paragould on time. See the attached itinerary for exact details. Ride Home Forms are due by 3:00 on Friday! NO EXCEPTIONS!

  • To help with faster loading, we will wear polos and khaki shorts at the parade on Saturday so students will need this along with everything they need for full uniform.

  • If you were unable to make your band fee payment this past week, please take care of this as soon as possible. Unless payment arrangements have been made, this is now considered a debt.
